About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when the Kroger fuel pumps were quiet and dark, a regular noticed something strange. Every few minutes, he swore he heard a soft humming sound coming from behind the gas station's old storage shed. One night, curious as to what caused that odd hum, the regular finally mustered up the courage to peek inside. To his surprise, it was just an old radio left there by a delivery driver years ago. The dial stuck on some long-forgotten talk show, its static now part of the nightly routine. From then on, whenever anyone asked about the mysterious noise, they’d simply say, ‘Oh, that’s just Kroger talking.’

2. Late one afternoon, while filling up at Kroger’s fuel station, a delivery driver noticed something odd in the reflection of his car window. He swore he saw an old man waving from behind the gas pump, but no one else seemed to notice. Curious, the delivery driver got out and scanned around, but found nobody. Just as he shrugged it off, another customer walked over and asked if everything was okay. Turned out, it was just an old reflection trick—they both laughed it off, realizing how easily our minds can play tricks on us.

3. One morning, while pumping gas at Kroger's fuel station, a delivery driver muttered, 'I swear, every time I fill up here, my car gets heavier!' Finally, one day, an old neighbor stopped by and asked what was going on. The delivery driver confessed his concern, and together they checked the scales. Turned out, it was just Kroger’s new heavy-duty fuel that made everyone’s cars feel like tanks—except for the neighbor’s tiny scooter, which now had superpowers.

4. While loading groceries into her car, a neighbor discovered an old, dusty photo album hidden among the bananas in her Kroger shopping bag. Curious, she flipped through its pages and found herself staring at pictures from her own high school years. She showed it to her husband later that night, causing him to laugh out loud when he saw his old yearbook picture next to hers. The next morning, everyone in town was talking about the mysterious ‘Kroger time machine’ until someone joked that maybe they should start putting historical documents in the produce section for fun.
