About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. A regular was counting pills in the aisle one afternoon when he noticed something odd: every time he counted to twelve, an extra pill appeared in the bottle. Finally, the pharmacist intervened and watched as the man counted again. To everyone’s surprise, including his own, the extra pill vanished into thin air. From then on, whenever someone mentioned the mysterious appearances, the old regular would wink and say, ‘Must be a ghostly side effect.’

2. One morning, while a delivery driver was unloading boxes, he heard an unusual announcement over the intercom: ‘Attention please—we’re out of Band-Aids, but our supply of bandaids for broken hearts is unlimited!’ Curious, the delivery driver asked if they could get some for his own heartbreak. The pharmacist smiled and said, 'We don’t stock those here, sir. But why not pop into the local bakery down the street? They’ve got something delicious that might cheer you up!'

3. One night, a neighborhood kid was practicing his tricks outside Kroger Pharmacy when he accidentally knocked over a box of glow sticks. The next thing anyone knew, the entire parking lot was lit up like a neon carnival. Suddenly, an elderly delivery driver pulled up and asked what all the fuss was about. When he saw the colorful lights, he exclaimed, ‘Oh my goodness, looks like someone’s having a party!’ And with that, everyone laughed, realizing it wasn’t such a big deal after all.

4. One day, a delivery driver was unpacking crates when he spotted an old sign that read ‘World’s Largest Aspirin’ hanging crookedly above the entrance. Curious, he straightened it and noticed another sign below: ‘World’s Smallest Candy Store.’ As he looked around, everyone in town seemed to appear from nowhere—all waiting for their prescriptions. Turns out, Kroger Pharmacy had been hiding its true identity as the town’s secret gathering place.
