About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Kroger, a delivery driver noticed something strange one day. While unloading groceries, he heard an announcement over the loud speaker: ‘Attention, please pick up your flying saucer in aisle seven.’ Confused, the driver looked around and saw nothing unusual. Then, glancing down the aisle, he spotted a small silver disc sitting innocently among the canned goods. He picked it up—it was light as air—and realized with a smile that it must be someone’s practical joke. Later that evening, while chatting with his neighbor, they both agreed that maybe Kroger needed more staff for its extraterrestrial customer service counter.

2. At Kroger, while filling up his car, a regular noticed an unusual announcement over the loudspeaker: ‘If you see anyone buying more than three bottles of ketchup today, please inform our staff immediately.’ Curious, the regular asked the clerk what it meant. Turns out, a neighboring restaurant had complained that someone was hoarding their special sauce. Later that day, a delivery driver arrived with a crate marked ‘free ketchup samples.’ It turned out to be a friendly gesture from the restaurant owner himself, who just wanted everyone to enjoy his secret recipe.

3. At Kroger, while pumping gas, a regular heard a peculiar humming sound coming from inside the store. Curious, he walked in and found no source—until he realized it stopped when he did. Finally, an intrepid delivery driver suggested that maybe the sound was just the air conditioning or a loose vent. They turned it off—and sure enough, the hum resumed. Everyone laughed, realizing they were all too focused on finding ghosts instead of checking the simplest explanation. The regular left with a smile, knowing his next visit would be less spooky but perhaps more entertaining.

4. At Kroger, while pumping gas, a regular smelled something odd—a faint whiff of freshly baked bread mixed with gasoline fumes. It was so unexpected that everyone stopped what they were doing to look around. Curious, one of them asked if anyone else noticed it. No one did, until an old delivery driver chimed in, saying he always brought his lunch from the bakery next door—maybe it was just their new batch of sourdough wafting over! Everyone laughed and agreed it made for a funny story, then went back to filling up their tanks—and maybe picking up some fresh bread on the way out.
