About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a delivery driver grumbled under his breath as he unloaded boxes into Kroger’s backroom: ‘Why do they always put the toilet paper next to the diapers?’ Just then, an elderly lady poked her head out from the aisle and asked, ‘Excuse me, where can I find some wipes for my grandbaby?’ The driver sighed, pointed towards the diapers, and muttered, ‘Next to the TP.’ Everyone laughed, including him, and that became the day when Kroger’s employees learned to embrace their unique organizational quirks.
2. One day, an elderly woman pushed her shopping cart down the aisle, startled when she heard a strange humming coming from one of the shelves. Curious, she bent down and peered inside, only to discover a tiny bluebird chirping contentedly among the cans of beans. As she gently picked up the little bird, another customer, a gruff-looking delivery driver, muttered, 'Great, now we gotta close for a wildlife emergency!' But soon everyone was laughing as they watched the bluebird fly out through the open doors, followed by a few curious cats and a neighbor’s parrot. The store manager shook his head and said, ‘Welcome to Kroger—where you never know what’ll end up in your shopping cart!’
3. At dawn, a delivery driver wheeled his truck up to Kroger’s loading dock, muttering something about ghostly footsteps echoing through the empty aisles. As he approached the backroom, he heard a voice whispering, ‘Where are all the cans of corn today?’ Turned out it was just an old lady stocking shelves. The driver laughed and said, ‘Must be a new ghost helper!’ They both shared a laugh, and that became their morning ritual—him asking where everything went, her telling him it was her invisible shopping cart full of canned goods.
4. One night, a customer asked the cashier, ‘Why does everything in this store cost exactly $1.99?’ The cashier smiled and replied, ‘Because our prices are always just shy of two bucks!’ Just then, a delivery driver walked up and said, 'Actually, I deliver for Kroger!' Everyone burst out laughing, realizing it was just another case of mistaken identity. From that day on, whenever someone asked why things were priced at $1.99, they’d wink and say, 'It’s a conspiracy theory, but don’t believe everything you hear.'
