About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Kroger, a delivery driver once muttered under his breath, ‘This gas pump is cursed.’ Since then, every midnight, customers claim to see an old man filling up his car—only he vanishes when anyone approaches. One night, a delivery driver noticed the old man’s car was always topped off exactly at 9:58 PM. Curious, he asked a neighbor who chuckled and said, 'That’s just Mr. Kroger himself, making sure everyone gets a good night's sleep.'

2. At Kroger, a sign above the fuel pumps read: 'If your car can’t start, ours can.' One morning, a neighbor pulled up and announced over the intercom: 'Mine just did!' A delivery driver pulled in next, grumbling about his old truck. He filled up, hopped out, and declared, ‘Let’s see if yours can start mine!’ The entire station erupted in laughter as the cars honked and cheered. That day, Kroger became more than just a gas station—it was where neighbors found not only fuel but also good-natured fun.

3. At Kroger, a little boy pointed excitedly and asked his mom, ‘Why do these gas pumps sing when I put my card in?’ The mother smiled and explained gently, 'That's just how they talk when you give them your permission.' The boy nodded thoughtfully, then turned back to the pump with a newfound sense of wonder. From that day on, every time he filled up, he’d wave goodbye to the singing gas pump, as if it were an old friend.

4. At Kroger, an elderly gentleman stood in line at the fuel pumps, muttering to himself: "I wonder if this pump knows I'm here for the groceries too?" Just then, a delivery driver approached and asked, ‘Sir, are you sure you put your credit card in the right slot?’ The old man looked down and exclaimed, ‘Oh no! I was so focused on my shopping list that I thought this was the grocery checkout!’
