About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. It was an unusually quiet morning in Kroger Pharmacy when a delivery driver noticed something strange. As he unloaded boxes of aspirin and Band-Aids, he kept glancing up at the ceiling, where a shadow seemed to move ever so slightly. Curious, he followed the shadow until it led him to an old medicine cabinet. Inside, among expired cough syrups and dusty bottles, lived a colony of tiny bats that had taken refuge there years ago. The delivery driver quietly closed the door and went back to his truck, never mentioning the incident to anyone—except maybe his neighbor over a few beers later that night.

2. A sign above the cash register at Kroger Pharmacy read: ‘If you see something that isn’t yours, take it home.’ One day, a delivery driver came in with a box of misplaced items. He found an expensive watch and asked if anyone claimed it. The pharmacist shrugged and said, 'Take it home.' Later, when the owner called frantically, they simply replied, 'He took it home,' pointing towards the delivery guy's truck. Everyone laughed, including the owner who realized her watch was now safely delivered to its new, albeit temporary, owner.

3. A regular customer at Kroger Pharmacy was checking out one afternoon when he overheard the pharmacist say, 'I just filled a prescription for a cat named Mr. Johnson.' The man looked around suspiciously but saw no one else paying attention. Smiling to himself, he paid for his groceries and left. Later that evening, while unpacking his shopping bags, he found an unfamiliar pill bottle among them. Curious, he opened it—and discovered a small note inside reading, ‘For your feline friend, Mr. Johnson.’

4. One day after closing hours, a delivery driver heard strange noises coming from Kroger Pharmacy's stockroom. Curious, he peeked inside and saw only dusty shelves and boxes. Suddenly, an old bottle fell off a shelf, making a loud clank. Startled, he looked around but found nothing else moving. Turning to leave, he noticed a sign reading ‘Closed for inventory’ with a smiley face drawn next to it in marker. The delivery driver laughed, realizing it was just an overactive imagination—and maybe some friendly pranks from a regular night watchman.
