About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Kroger Pharmacy, every morning around 8 AM, a regular would arrive with his shopping bag and head straight for the back corner. One day, an employee noticed that his dog always sat motionless in the same spot outside the door, staring intently at something no one else could see. Finally, someone asked the old man what his dog was watching so intently. With a smile, he replied, ‘Oh, that’s just my lucky charm—he’s waiting for the mailman who brings us our free samples!’

2. At Kroger Pharmacy, every afternoon after closing, customers began noticing something strange. A small dog would quietly slip inside through an open door and wander over to the candy counter. The little dog would lick his nose and pick a chocolate bar from the display case before disappearing back out the same way he came in. One day, a delivery driver noticed him and decided to follow. Turned out it was just a friendly neighborhood pug who loved free candies—everyone laughed it off as Kroger’s very own ‘after-hours sweet tooth’ until someone finally bought him a lifetime supply of chocolates.

3. At Kroger Pharmacy, every night before closing, an old bottle of aspirin started appearing on the checkout counter. No one knew whose it was or how it got there. One evening, a delivery driver joked that maybe Santa left it as a tip. Soon after, neighbors began leaving small gifts—chocolate bars, pens, even handwritten notes—next to the aspirin. Before long, the nightly ritual became a friendly tradition, and customers looked forward to seeing what surprise would appear on the counter each day.

4. At Kroger Pharmacy, every day at exactly noon, a little dog would appear from nowhere and sit right in front of the candy counter. No one knew where he came from or who owned him. One day, an elderly gentleman walked in and asked the pharmacist, ‘Is that your dog?’ The pharmacist replied, ‘No sir, he’s just a regular.’ And everyone laughed, realizing that maybe the dog was nobody’s pet but belonged to the whole town.
