About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At Kroger’s late-night checkout line, an old lady always stopped to chat with the cashier. One night, her granddaughter whispered something into her ear and she burst out laughing. The cashier looked puzzled until he heard a tiny voice from behind: ‘Grammy says bananas are on sale!’ The next day, everyone in line overheard Grammy whispering again: 'Apples are half price!' The cashier grinned, realizing it was just their little inside joke. From then on, whenever someone asked why she always lingered at the checkout, Grammy would wink and say, 'Because I found the best bargains in town.'
2. At dawn, when most supermarkets are still quiet, a delivery driver noticed something unusual in Kroger's loading dock: boxes labeled ‘pickles’ were mysteriously stacked higher than usual. But when he checked again later, they had vanished without a trace. Curious, the driver mentioned it to his coworkers, and soon everyone was talking about the disappearing pickles. Eventually, an old neighbor joked that maybe ghosts from the nearby cemetery were coming for a midnight snack. From then on, whenever someone asked why there were always fresh pickles, people just smiled and said, 'Kroger’s secret recipe includes midnight deliveries.'
3. In the early morning hours, when most people were dreaming of breakfast, a delivery driver pulled up to the loading dock at Kroger. As he unloaded boxes, he heard a strange humming sound coming from inside the store. Curious, he peered through the window and saw rows upon rows of cans swaying gently in unison. The driver called out, ‘Hey, cans, what’s going on here?’ Suddenly, one can rolled off the shelf and landed right next to him with a loud clank. Startled, he jumped back, but then noticed a regular customer pushing a shopping cart slowly towards him, smiling warmly. Turns out, it was just an old lady testing her hearing aid again.
4. At Kroger’s produce section one afternoon, a customer asked the clerk, ‘Do you ever wonder why bananas here seem to know exactly when I’m shopping?’ The clerk smiled and replied, ‘Well, sir, it’s because they’re smarter than most shoppers!’ Just then, an old man from the next aisle over nodded and said, ‘That’s right, sonny—bananas always know when I’m in a hurry.’ The whole produce section broke into laughter, and everyone left Kroger that day with a smile.
