About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Kroger, where gas meets groceries, a regular once asked: ‘Why does my car always start purring like a contented cat when I fill up here?’ A delivery driver overheard and quipped, ‘Must be the magic in our fuel!’ A neighbor chimed in, ‘No wonder everyone’s so happy around here—must be catching!’ And thus, Kroger became known not just for its friendly staff or low prices, but also for cars that seemed to hum with satisfaction after filling up.

2. At dawn, when most Krogers are quiet, a delivery driver noticed something odd: the gas pump seemed to be counting down instead of up. Curious, he checked the meter inside—nothing but zeros flashing back at him. By lunchtime, word spread like wildfire through the neighborhood. A regular stopped by and joked, ‘Maybe it’s giving gas away for once!’ Soon enough, neighbors lined up with empty tanks, laughing as they filled up for free. The next day, everything was normal again, leaving everyone to wonder if it had been just another Kroger prank.

3. At Kroger, where gas meets groceries, a little boy pointed excitedly and whispered: ‘Mom, look! The pump says it’s filling up our tank with chocolate milk!’ His mom laughed gently, shaking her head. A nearby delivery driver overheard them and smiled knowingly, muttering under his breath that he’d seen stranger things at Kroger. As they drove off, their neighbor waved cheerfully from across the street, thinking to herself, ‘Chocolate milk or not, those kids always seem to find the fun in everyday life.’

4. At midnight, when most Krogers sleep, an overnight stocker heard whispers coming from the aisles. Curious, he followed them to the frozen foods section—only to see a shadowy figure rearranging the ice cream. As he watched more intently, the figure turned around—it was just an old delivery driver straightening out his own carton of milk. The two shared a laugh, and the stocker realized that sometimes late-night Kroger adventures are nothing but friendly pranks from familiar faces.
