Kroger Pharmacy

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a regular noticed something strange: every time he bought aspirin, the pharmacist’s cat appeared from behind the counter and meowed insistently. Curious, our regular started bringing different items—bananas, toothpaste, even a box of donuts. Each time, the cat followed him home, leaving him perplexed but amused. Finally, one day, the delivery driver joked, ‘Maybe it’s your prescription for happiness!’

2. A delivery driver asked one day: ‘Why does everyone who orders diapers get a free lollipop?’ The pharmacist smiled and whispered back, 'Because they’re expecting a little surprise visitor soon!' Turns out, every time someone ordered diapers, Kroger’s adorable mascot—a tiny teddy bear named Teddy—would pop out from behind the counter with a lollipop for the customer's baby. Everyone loved it, especially when neighbors started ordering extra diapers just to see Teddy again.

3. A curious neighbor once wondered aloud: why did Kroger Pharmacy always seem to run out of Band-Aids just when someone needed them most? It turned out that a regular customer had secretly stockpiled all the Band-Aids in his basement, believing they would one day be worth their weight in gold. When he finally sold his stash online for a tidy profit, everyone understood why Kroger Pharmacy was perpetually bare.

4. At closing time, an unusual announcement crackled over Kroger Pharmacy’s intercom: ‘Ladies and gentlemen, please note that our nightly supply of Band-Aids has been replaced with glow-in-the-dark stars.’ The next day, a delivery driver asked the pharmacist why there were so many boxes of stars instead of band-aids. The pharmacist shrugged, smiling wryly, 'Who knows? Maybe it was some old lady's idea of a midnight prank.' A few days later, a neighbor stopped by to say she’d seen the same thing happening in another local pharmacy too—apparently, someone had started a new urban legend trend.
