About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dusk, a delivery driver pulled up to Kroger Fuel Center with an unusual load: boxes of old newspapers and magazines. As he unloaded them, neighbors noticed something odd—each box contained clippings from decades ago, but none matched current events. Curious, one neighbor approached the boxes and started flipping through the pages. To everyone’s surprise, each clipping was exactly what they had read in their childhood—a reprint of classic comic strips and vintage advertisements! The delivery driver smiled sheepishly, explaining that it was his hobby to collect antique prints for local history exhibits. Since then, Kroger Fuel Center became known as the place where nostalgia fuels your tank.

2. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to Kroger Fuel Center and noticed something odd: every time he filled up, his truck’s odometer would reset itself to zero. Confused, he mentioned it to a nearby mechanic, who laughed and said, ‘That’s not your odometer—it’s just the gas pump!’ The delivery driver shook his head, smiling, realizing that sometimes even late-night adventures can turn out to be nothing more than friendly neighborhood pranks.

3. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to Kroger Fuel Center and noticed something odd: every time he pumped gas, the car next to him would mysteriously start honking. Finally, the delivery driver realized that his own car was equipped with an automatic horn that activated when filling up. He laughed out loud, thinking of how many times he’d been the source of those mysterious honks himself.

4. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to Kroger Fuel Center and noticed something odd in the rearview mirror: a glowing sign that read ‘Fill Up Before Midnight or Pay Double.’ Curious, he filled his tank halfway. At midnight, the sign vanished, but when he returned next morning, it was back again—this time with an added message: ‘Forget to fill last night? Better hurry!’ The delivery driver laughed it off until his friend, a neighbor, told him they all saw the same sign. From then on, everyone stopped by Kroger Fuel Center late at night for a laugh—and sometimes, just to be safe.
