About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dusk one day, a delivery driver pulled up to Kroger Fuel Center and noticed something odd: an eerie humming sound coming from inside the building. Curious but not alarmed, he got out to investigate. As he approached the door, the hum grew louder—a strange electronic buzzing like a thousand bees trapped in a box. Inside, he found nothing more than a malfunctioning security camera blinking its red eye. With a sigh of relief, he fixed it with some duct tape and a few choice words. From then on, whenever anyone asked about the mysterious noise, he’d just say, ‘Oh, that’s just our new friend Kroger Fuel Center saying hello.’

2. At dusk one day, a delivery driver pulled up to Kroger Fuel Center and noticed an unusual message on the pump display: ‘Fill your tank with good luck today—we’ve added extra for free!’ The delivery driver laughed it off, thinking it was some prank. As he filled his tank, he felt unusually cheerful. Later that night, his usually grumpy neighbor stopped by to borrow sugar. With a big smile, the driver said, 'Take two bags—it’s our lucky day!' The neighbor looked puzzled but took them anyway, muttering something about strange people in the neighborhood.

3. At dusk one day, a delivery driver pulled up to Kroger Fuel Center and noticed an unusual package in the loading bay. Curious, he opened it to find… nothing but a note that read: ‘Fill me up with whatever you’re selling.’ The delivery driver shrugged, poured himself some gas into his water bottle and drove off whistling. The next morning, everyone in town was talking about how Kroger Fuel Center had given away free gas all night long. It turned out the note was just a prank from a regular who loved practical jokes.

4. At dusk one day, a delivery driver pulled up to Kroger Fuel Center and noticed an odd sign on the pump: ‘Fill Up Your Tank for Good Luck!’ Curious, he filled his tank and promptly forgot about it until his next visit—when he found the same sign again. A few weeks later, while filling up as usual, our delivery driver struck up a conversation with a neighbor who happened to be pumping gas across from him. Turns out she’d seen the same sign too—and had even won a free coffee mug! They both laughed, realizing they were part of some quirky local tradition. Now every time they fill their tanks there, they wave and joke about good luck.
