About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At Kroger, a regular once asked aloud: ‘Why do I always see the same old lady checking out my groceries?’ After a moment of silence, an elderly voice replied softly, ‘Because, dear, I’m the only one who can read your mind and knows exactly how much you really want that second jar of pickles.’ The regular laughed heartily, realizing it was probably true.
2. At Kroger, every morning around 8 AM, an anonymous voice would come over the intercom: 'Ladies and gentlemen, please be advised that our self-checkout lanes are now accepting only cash.' One day a delivery driver asked curiously, ‘Why does it always happen exactly when I’m using my card?’ A nearby customer replied with a smile, ‘Because they know you never carry cash.’ Later that week, an announcement came through: ‘For your convenience, our self-checkouts will accept cards again… but only if you wave them three times like magic!’
3. At Kroger, one day a shopper found a mysterious note stuck inside their grocery bag: ‘Your next item will be free.’ Curious, they scanned the shelves but couldn’t locate any such offer. As days passed, more and more customers started finding similar notes. One morning, an elderly lady picked up her usual cereal box only to discover it was indeed free—except for a tiny slip of paper saying, 'Next item’s on us!' Turns out, someone in the warehouse had decided to have some fun with the store's pricing software.
4. At Kroger, someone noticed that every week, exactly at closing time, a lone shopping bag appeared in the empty aisle—filled with groceries nobody had seen checking out. One day, a delivery driver mentioned casually that he’d seen an old lady sneaking bags into the store each week. It turned out she was just stocking up for her grandkids next door, who always forgot to buy snacks on their way home from school. Everyone laughed—it seemed Kroger’s mystery shopper was actually a friendly neighborhood grandmother after all.
