About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One day, while browsing Kroger’s aisles, a regular noticed something peculiar: every time he passed by the canned goods section, his shopping cart would inexplicably slow down. His granddaughter, trailing behind, kept giggling and pointing at the shelves, though she couldn’t explain why. Finally, they asked an elderly neighbor who worked there part-time. He winked and said, ‘Oh, that’s just old Mr. Jenkins’ ghost, haunting the canned goods because he used to work here.’ The man shrugged it off with a smile, added some extra jars of pickles to his basket, and walked away whistling.
2. In the late afternoon, as a delivery driver unloaded groceries in the loading bay, he spotted an unusual item among the boxes—an old, dusty kite wrapped in plastic. Curious, he unwrapped it and found the kite was still intact, though covered with decades-old dust. He joked that maybe someone had forgotten to fly it during the Great Kite Shortage of '89. As he cleaned off the dirt, a neighbor passing by asked if he’d found a lost time capsule—and they both laughed, realizing it was just another day at Kroger.
3. In the early morning, as a night stocker restocked shelves, he heard an odd sound coming from the dairy section. Curious, he peered around the corner and saw nothing but milk bottles gently swaying in the air. Startled, he called out, ‘Who’s there?’ A voice replied softly, ‘Just the cheese trying to get some fresh air.’ The night stocker laughed, thinking it was just a prank by one of the delivery drivers, until he noticed the smile on his own face.
4. In the early hours of dawn, as a night stocker began restocking the dairy section, he was startled by a tiny voice whispering from behind the milk crates. "Moo," it said softly. Curious, the worker turned around and saw only an empty crate. But then, out of the corner of his eye, he thought he saw something move. Peering closer, he realized it was just a stray cat with big green eyes, staring up at him with a mischievous expression. ‘Gotcha!’ she seemed to say, and padded off into the shadows, leaving behind a carton of milk that had been slightly knocked over. The night stocker smiled, shook his head, and went back to work—knowing that Kroger would never be quite the same again.
