About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Kroger, a regular noticed something odd one foggy morning. His dog, usually oblivious to mundane things, started barking frantically as they approached the gas pumps. The man looked around puzzled, then realized his dog was fixated on the reflection of an old truck in the pump’s mirror. Turns out, the truck belonged to a friendly neighborhood delivery driver who often waved hello from there. That morning, he had forgotten his hat and it was reflecting eerily in the wet glass—causing quite the commotion.

2. At Kroger, a delivery driver once asked curiously: ‘Why does that old lady always count her groceries twice?’ With a knowing smile, another driver replied, ‘She’s not counting them again—she’s just making sure you didn’t give her the wrong change.’ The first driver shook his head with a laugh and muttered, ‘Guess I’ll have to be more careful next time!’

3. At Kroger, a delivery driver once noticed an unusual pattern: every Wednesday afternoon, an elderly gentleman would carefully place a small bouquet of flowers next to the cash register before checking out. Finally, one Thursday morning, the delivery driver asked a fellow employee if they knew anything about the mysterious flower-guy. It turned out that the old man lived in the apartment above the gas station and was simply using Kroger’s counter as his makeshift florist stand! Ever since then, whenever anyone saw him buying flowers, someone would whisper, ‘He’s just restocking his virtual shop.’

4. At Kroger, a delivery driver once found an old photo album in the grocery cart return area. Each page seemed to show familiar faces from around town—until he recognized himself as a child in every picture. Curious, he flipped through more pages and saw his high-school friend waving cheerfully from another snapshot. Turns out, everyone in town had been dropping off their childhood photos for years without realizing it! The whole neighborhood gathered later that day to laugh over old pictures—and maybe grab some groceries too.
