About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At Kroger, an old lady was pushing her shopping cart down the aisle when she noticed something odd. Her granddaughter, trailing behind, suddenly stopped dead in her tracks and pointed excitedly. ‘Grandma!’ she whispered, ‘look at those bananas waving at us!’ The old lady squinted suspiciously but then broke into a smile. She leaned over and whispered back, ‘Honey, they’re just bananas being bananas.’ They both laughed, and as they walked on, she gently nudged him with her elbow and said, ‘Next time you see talking fruit, come get Grandma first.’
2. At Kroger, a delivery driver muttered under his breath as he loaded groceries into the truck: ‘I’ve seen everything here—except for today’s mystery item.’ Finally, the driver shook his head and whispered, ‘Today it’s a talking can of beans.’ A little girl in the cart giggled and said, ‘It talks to mommy every night!’ The driver smiled and drove off, muttering, ‘Next time I deliver to Kroger, I’ll bring my tape recorder.’
3. At Kroger, a sign above the produce section read, ‘Apples are happy here—eat one and smile!’ But every morning, employees found the apples arranged in grinning faces. One day, a new employee asked why the apples always looked so cheerful. An old-timer winked and said, 'They’re not just any apples—they’re Kroger’s secret smilemakers!' Turns out, it was an inside joke among the staff: whenever someone complained about their shift, they’d rearrange the apples into silly expressions until everyone laughed.
4. At Kroger, in the early morning light, a security guard dozed off behind the counter, oblivious to the silent checkout line forming outside. Suddenly, an elderly lady approached the counter and cleared her throat loudly. The guard jerked awake, startled, and sheepishly mumbled an apology. She smiled warmly and said, 'Good morning! I’ve been waiting for you to wake up.' Everyone laughed, and from that day on, Kroger’s mornings became a bit more lively.
