About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At dusk, when Kroger Pharmacy usually quietened down, an old man in a tweed jacket would appear, asking for aspirin that wasn’t on the shelves. He’d ask the night pharmacist with a twinkle in his eye, ‘Got any special brand, sonny?’ The young pharmacist would smile and say, ‘No sir, but I can give you a ride home if it’s too late.’ And so, every evening, the old man and the pharmacist became unseen friends, sharing stories while waiting for closing time.
2. At closing time one day, a delivery driver noticed something odd outside Kroger Pharmacy’s window: a shadowy figure seemed to be rearranging bottles on the shelves. Curious, he peered closer and saw it was just an old man, a regular customer, who always came in for his special medicine. Turns out he enjoyed organizing things after hours, making sure everything was neatly arranged before closing up shop.
3. In the late afternoon, when Kroger Pharmacy was almost empty, a small dog darted into the parking lot. It sniffed curiously around the pharmacy's entrance, then suddenly froze—its eyes fixed on something invisible to human eyes. Suddenly, an old man appeared from behind the counter and called out, ‘Hey little guy, you lost?’ The dog wagged its tail and ran towards him, jumping onto his lap with a big sigh of relief. Turns out it belonged to a regular who’d come in earlier for some medicine. Everyone laughed as they watched the happy reunion, realizing that sometimes even pharmacies can be magical places.
4. At nightfall, while Kroger Pharmacy's shelves were being restocked, a stocker heard a soft humming coming from the back room. Curious, he followed the sound and found an old gramophone playing softly in the corner. Upon closer inspection, it was emitting the most peculiar tune—a mashup of classic rock ballads and children's lullabies. Turns out, the previous night-shift pharmacist had left it on accidentally. The next morning, everyone agreed that the mix made for a pretty good background music during their busy shifts.
