About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when the Kroger parking lot was emptying, a regular noticed something odd—a soft humming sound that grew louder as he walked towards the gas pumps. Curious, he followed the noise and saw nothing but flickering neon signs reflecting off the pumps. Just as he shrugged it off, a friendly voice said, ‘Hey, you okay? My truck’s engine just purred like that after I filled up.’ A delivery driver waved from his cab, grinning. The regular laughed, realizing it was just another Kroger night adventure.

2. At dawn, when most people were still dreaming, a delivery driver pulled up to the Kroger fuel station. He noticed an old man carefully placing shopping bags next to the pumps. The driver smiled and asked, ‘Morning sir, do you always shop here before filling up?’ The old man replied with a twinkle in his eye, ‘Why, yes—saves me from carrying heavy groceries home after pumping gas!’ They both laughed, and the driver thought, ‘Maybe I’ll start doing my deliveries early too.’

3. In the early morning hours, a neighbor walking their dog down by the Kroger gas station saw something peculiar—an unfamiliar cat seemed lost and confused, wandering aimlessly around the pumps. As the neighbor approached gently, the cat suddenly perked up, jumped onto one of the gas pumps, and started purring loudly while staring intently at the nozzle. Turns out, it was just waiting for its owner—a regular delivery driver who always left his cat’s favorite treat in the car's glove compartment after filling up.

4. At midnight, when the Kroger fuel pumps hummed softly, a delivery driver heard an eerie whistling sound coming from behind one of the tanks. Curious, he approached and saw nothing but shadows dancing in the lantern light. Suddenly, an old man emerged from behind the tank, wiping his hands on an oil-stained rag. ‘Just my cat,’ he grinned. ‘He likes to whistle when I’m filling up.’ The delivery driver relaxed, realizing it was just another Kroger neighbor with a quirky pet.
