About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. It was just another quiet morning at Kroger when a delivery driver noticed something strange. As he unloaded crates of bananas into the back room, he kept hearing whispers coming from behind the boxes. Curious but not alarmed, he peeked around the corner—and found himself face-to-face with an entire army of talking bananas. The bananas started whispering about their secret banana republic and how they planned to take over the store. The delivery driver calmly asked if they needed any help with groceries. They agreed, and ever since then, Kroger has had the friendliest checkout line in town—bananas always seem to know exactly where everything is.

2. It was an ordinary day at Kroger’s gas pump when a voice crackled over the intercom: ‘Attention, please fill your tank with only good intentions.’ A delivery driver looked up from his truck, puzzled but smiling. The next morning, customers lined up not for gas, but to hear more whispers on the intercom. The manager shrugged and grinned, saying it must be a bug in the old system. A delivery driver whispered to a regular, ‘Maybe they should sell lottery tickets instead!’ And everyone laughed so hard that even the quietest neighbor joined in.

3. A delivery driver was unloading groceries one afternoon when he heard a strange sound coming from inside the store's ceiling. Curious, he climbed up and found an old radio quietly playing country music. Turns out, it had been stuck there for years, forgotten by a long-gone employee. The delivery driver grinned, thinking of all the neighbors who might enjoy some free tunes, and left the radio where it was, now a quirky fixture in Kroger’s ceiling.

4. While filling up at Kroger's gas pump, a regular exclaimed, 'I think my car is talking back!' The attendant raised an eyebrow, curious but not alarmed. The attendant leaned in closer, listening intently. ‘What’s it saying?’ he asked with a smile. The car replied softly, ‘Fill me up with premium or I’ll never talk to you again.’ Everyone burst out laughing, realizing it was just the car’s fuel gauge speaking up for itself.
