About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One foggy morning, as a delivery driver unloaded crates of fresh produce, he swore he heard soft laughter echoing through the aisles. Nobody else seemed to notice, but from that day on, customers reported hearing whispers and giggles late at night. Finally, one evening after closing time, an old lady whispered to herself: ‘Who’s been stealing all the bananas?’ A security guard overheard her and rushed in, only to find…nothing. The next morning, everyone discovered that the store had run out of bananas again. Since then, Kroger Marketplace has become known for its mysterious banana shortage.’
2. In the late afternoon, an elderly woman was browsing the aisles when she noticed something strange: every time she picked up a box of cereal, its price seemed to change. Curious, she asked a nearby employee if prices were fluctuating. With a smile, he replied that it was just the store’s new pricing algorithm testing itself out. By evening, as people left with their groceries, everyone agreed it felt like they’d been part of some quirky experiment—except for one delivery driver who insisted his shift had become a real-life version of Monopoly.
3. In the middle of the night, a child woke up and crept into the grocery store's freezer section. When they opened the door, a bag of frozen peas started dancing to an old folk tune. Curious, the child followed the music until they found an elderly delivery driver humming along as he loaded boxes onto a cart. ‘I learned that song from my grandma,’ he said with a smile. The next morning, everyone in town knew the secret groove of the Kroger Marketplace’s frozen peas.
4. On a particularly stormy night, a cashier was ringing up groceries when she heard a familiar voice whispering from behind the deli counter. "Excuse me," said no one, but the sound of rustling packages grew louder. Curious, she turned around and saw only empty shelves. Then, amidst the silence, someone cleared their throat softly next to her ear. ‘I’m just checking if you’ve got enough milk for your cereal,’ whispered a friendly voice. The cashier smiled, realizing it must be an errand from a regular customer who always liked playing pranks.
