About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Kroger Gas Station and asked the attendant, ‘Do you ever get customers who pay with old coins?’ The attendant shrugged, ‘Oh yeah, once in a while.’ The driver grinned, pulling out an ancient-looking coin from his pocket. ‘Check this out,’ he said, handing it over. The attendant examined it carefully before laughing, ‘You’re lucky today—this one’s worth more than gas!’ They both laughed as the delivery driver paid for his fill-up with some other old coins, leaving everyone else waiting behind with amused smiles.
2. A regular was filling up his truck when he noticed something odd in the reflection of the gas station’s window. ‘Did you see that?’ he called out to no one in particular. 'Every time I fill up here, my car gets an extra mileage boost!' A delivery driver overheard him and chuckled. ‘That’s because you always get a free coffee from the attendant after pumping!’ The regular laughed it off, shaking his head, but still stopping by Kroger every day for both gas and that mysterious energy boost.’
3. One night, while pumping gas, a regular noticed an unusual announcement over the loud speaker: ‘Attention, customers! The spirit of Mr. Kroger himself is now checking your tanks.’ Everyone laughed it off until they saw the old gentleman standing next to the pumps smiling warmly. Soon enough, another customer—a delivery driver—asked if he could take a selfie with Mr. Kroger. To everyone’s surprise, the old man agreed and even posed for a group photo! Since then, some say that on quiet nights, you can still hear him chatting with the staff about the good ol’ days.
4. One day, while pumping gas, a regular noticed an unusual announcement over the loud speaker: ‘Attention, ladies and gentlemen—your pump is now offering free samples of our new Kroger brand coffee!’ A delivery driver, hearing the announcement, asked curiously, 'Is it any good?' A voice replied from behind him, 'Try it yourself!' Turns out, the free sample was actually a hidden camera prank. Everyone had a hearty laugh, and the regular quipped, 'Guess I'll stick with my trusty old Starbucks after all.'
