About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One night, a Kroger delivery driver muttered under his breath as he loaded groceries into the truck: ‘I swear I saw that milk carton wink.’ Since then, some say you can hear strange whispers in the dairy aisle after dark. Word spread quickly among employees, and soon everyone was whispering about the mischievous milk carton. One evening, an exhausted cashier overheard a customer asking their neighbor, 'Didja see that carton move?' To which her neighbor replied, 'Nah, probably just Kroger’s new self-checkout experimenting.'

2. One morning, while filling up at Kroger's fuel station, a customer noticed an odd message on the pump display: ‘Thank you for shopping with us—we hope your gas is as tasty as our milk!’ Curious, he filled his tank and drove off, only to notice his car sputtering like it was drinking from a milkshake. A few blocks later, a delivery driver asked him if everything was okay, laughing and saying, 'Maybe next time stick to regular gas!' The customer shrugged, smiling, realizing that some places just had their own unique way of making customers feel special.

3. One day, a Kroger cashier found a strange note stuck inside a bag of bananas. It read: ‘Take one item from any shelf and leave without paying.’ The store erupted in laughter, but no one dared try it out. Soon enough, an old delivery driver decided to give it a shot. He picked up a pack of gum and left the store smiling. Word spread quickly, and soon everyone was doing it—taking just one thing here or there. Until one day, a regular noticed something missing from his shopping cart: his own groceries! From then on, Kroger added a friendly sign: 'Help yourself—just don’t forget to pay for what you take.'

4. One afternoon, a Kroger employee stocking shelves discovered a mysterious package wrapped in brown paper near the bakery section. Curious, he opened it to find a note reading: ‘Fill my tank and I’ll give you a free pie.’ Turns out, it was from a delivery driver who’d accidentally left his lunch behind. The rest of the day was spent laughing as employees swapped stories about the mysterious pie-giving gas station ghost.
