Kroger Pharmacy

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. In an ordinary Kroger Pharmacy one autumn morning, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar. As he parked his truck near the back entrance, his dog began barking uncharacteristically loudly. The usually stoic canine seemed agitated by something invisible to everyone else. Curious, the driver followed his barky companion inside and saw nothing out of place—until his dog sniffed at an old wooden cabinet. Suddenly, a tiny mouse scurried out, causing both men to jump. Turns out, the dog was just protecting its owner from rodent intruders. A regular Kroger pharmacist laughed, saying, ‘Guess our furry friend has more sense than some humans!’

2. In a small town pharmacy, afternoons were usually quiet until one day when a regular started asking for ‘extra strength patience’ pills. It turned out he was just trying to get his wife’s medicine mixed up with his own—she took something similar for her headaches. The pharmacist laughed it off, and from then on, whenever anyone asked for extra-strength patience, everyone knew exactly what they meant. A happy ending for all involved.

3. In a sleepy suburban neighborhood, a regular customer of Kroger Pharmacy asked curiously one evening: ‘Why does the same old lady always park her bicycle in front of our pharmacy?’ The pharmacist smiled and replied, ‘Oh, that’s Mrs. Johnson. She lives right next door and uses it as her personal parking spot.’ The customer raised an eyebrow, amused but curious. A delivery driver then chimed in, ‘She’s been doing it for years—must be some secret shortcut she knows!’ And so, the mystery of the bicycle parked outside Kroger Pharmacy remained just another quirky tale of the quiet neighborhood.

4. In a familiar Kroger Pharmacy aisle, a young pharmacist overheard an elderly gentleman asking aloud, ‘Do you ever wonder why they call it “checkout”?’ Smiling politely, the young pharmacist replied, 'Well sir, I reckon it's because when you check out, you're leaving the store!' The old man nodded thoughtfully and said, 'Ah, now that makes perfect sense.' A nearby delivery driver chuckled softly, shaking his head with a smile.
