About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One day, an elderly gentleman named simply ‘the Regular’ started shopping at Kroger every Wednesday afternoon. On the PA system, an automated voice announced, ‘Attention, please note that today is Wednesdays for Mr. Regular.’ One day, a delivery driver joked into the microphone, ‘And don’t forget, it’s Thursday—Mr. Regular must be out golfing!’ The whole store erupted in laughter, and from then on, everyone looked forward to Wednesdays with eager anticipation. Even though no one ever saw him again, the tradition of announcing ‘today is Wednesdays for Mr. Regular’ continued until the very last day Kroger was open.
2. At night, when the store was nearly empty, a soft humming began coming from one of the freezers. Employees thought it might be the air conditioning, but no one could explain why only that particular section sounded like a humming bee colony. One evening, an elderly delivery driver noticed something strange: every time he approached the frozen foods aisle, the hum got louder. Turns out, his truck’s engine had been misdiagnosed as a ghostly hummer—everyone just needed to hear it through the open loading bay door! Since then, employees joke that Kroger has its own secret orchestra hidden in the freezer.
3. One morning, while restocking shelves, a young delivery driver noticed something peculiar: a small, dusty corner of the store seemed to rearrange itself whenever he wasn’t looking. Curious, he followed the movement one day and found an old mannequin smiling back at him from behind the display. Turns out, it was just an overly enthusiastic new employee trying to spruce up the place for the grand reopening. From then on, Kroger became known as ‘the store with the mischievous mannequin,’ and everyone in town stopped by to see if it had moved again.
4. Have you heard about the strange happenings at Kroger late at night? Every once in a while, someone spots a shadowy figure pushing a full shopping cart down the aisles. One night, an exhausted delivery driver swears he saw a ghostly hand reaching out from behind the cheese section, rearranging packages. The next morning, everyone agreed it was just ‘the ghostly hand of Kroger,’ and nobody bothered to check if anything was actually missing. It became part of the store’s charm—like that friendly neighborhood spirit who always puts things back where they belong.
