About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a delivery driver was unloading boxes when he noticed something peculiar: every fifth can of corn seemed to be smiling back at him from its label. Curious, he checked other cans—sure enough, every fifth one had an amused expression on its face. By lunchtime, word spread through the store like wildfire, and soon customers were lining up just for the ‘smiling’ corn. The manager, perplexed but delighted, decided to keep it that way, turning Kroger’s least expected moment into a friendly urban legend.
2. In the aisles of Kroger, a little boy pointed excitedly at an unfamiliar package on the shelf. ‘Mom,’ he whispered, eyes wide, ‘why does this cereal box look like it’s dancing?’ His mom smiled and bent down to his level. ‘Oh honey,’ she said gently, ‘it’s just a new design.’ The boy frowned thoughtfully then looked up again, pointing to another box further away. ‘But Mom,’ he insisted, ‘that one looks like it’s winking!’
3. One day in the dairy section, a customer exclaimed, ‘I thought I saw milk turning into cheese right before my eyes!’ Others looked puzzled until they realized it was just an especially enthusiastic cow on the packaging. Just then, a delivery driver walked by and said, ‘That’s nothing—last week I saw eggs dancing on the shelf!’ Everyone laughed, realizing that Kroger might be magical, but only for those willing to look past reality with a smile.
4. In the produce section one foggy morning, a shopper swore she heard a soft humming coming from behind the bananas. Curious, she peeked around the corner and saw nothing but rows of bananas swaying gently in the mist. Suddenly, an elderly delivery driver walked by, whistling softly to himself. ‘He must’ve been the one,’” she thought with a smile, returning her focus to shopping for the day’s breakfast.
