About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning at Kroger, a delivery driver muttered under his breath as he loaded boxes onto the shelves: ‘This is the third time today someone’s asked for “the last can of beans”.’ Finally, an old lady approached him and asked with a twinkle in her eye: ‘Is that so? Because I just saw two cans left.’ The driver shook his head and smiled, realizing it was becoming a running joke around the store.
2. In the dairy aisle of Kroger one day, an employee noticed something odd nestled among the milk cartons—a tiny handwritten note that read: ‘If you see this, please return it to the person who lost it.’ Curious, she picked up the note and found another identical one inside. She opened it carefully—inside was yet another identical note, except for a small difference: ‘PS: Please don’t tell anyone where I am!’ Turns out, someone had been leaving these notes around the store as a prank, challenging employees to find them all. By the end of the day, the entire staff was laughing, and Kroger became known for its hidden treasure hunt.
3. In the produce section of Kroger, a customer exclaimed, ‘Why does every tomato look like it’s wearing a tiny hat?’ An elderly neighbor overheard and chuckled, replying, ‘Oh, those aren’t hats—those are little umbrellas to keep them from getting sunburned!’ A delivery driver nodded in agreement, adding, ‘And they’re also nature’s own disguises so birds won’t eat them.’ The regulars laughed, realizing that sometimes supermarkets have their own unique ways of keeping things fresh—and funny.
4. At night, while restocking shelves, a stocker swore he heard whispers coming from the canned goods aisle. Curious, he followed the voice and found nothing but cans of beans staring back at him. Months later, when another stocker reported hearing laughter in the frozen foods section, everyone just smiled and shook their heads. Kroger became known for its lively after-hours parties among employees.
