About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, while filling up at Kroger’s gas station, a regular noticed something peculiar in one of the pumps’ nozzles—a tiny, perfectly formed plastic dinosaur. It wasn’t there yesterday, and now it seemed to appear every day. Soon enough, other customers started noticing the little guy too. Some brought their own toys, creating a mini-dinosaur parade around each pump. One morning, a delivery driver even found a triceratops helmet inside his truck—obviously from another excited customer. By closing time, the dinosaurs had multiplied so much that they blocked the entire island, forcing everyone to laugh and take turns playing with them before leaving for home.

2. While pumping gas one night, a delivery driver swore he saw an old man waving from behind the pump's reflection. Curious, he looked around but found no one there. Turns out, it was just his neighbor, who’d parked his car behind the pump and was trying to signal him for a late-night chat. The delivery driver laughed it off, realizing that sometimes Kroger’s fuel pumps make great places for impromptu social gatherings.

3. While pumping gas one day, a delivery driver wondered aloud: ‘I bet that guy in the car behind me is trying to fill up on more than just gas.’ As he watched, the driver noticed the man’s eyes were fixed on his phone, not the pump. Turns out, the neighbor was secretly texting his wife to hurry home with dinner while filling up—multitasking at its finest!

4. On a chilly autumn morning, while filling up at Kroger's gas station, a delivery driver heard an unusual sound coming from inside the store. Curious, he walked towards the noise and found an old radio playing soft jazz in the corner. Turning around, everyone laughed when they realized it was just an enthusiastic neighbor who came every week to brighten their day with his musical surprise.
