A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, as a Kroger delivery driver unloaded boxes onto the loading dock, he heard an old lady yelling from inside the store: ‘Hey, you forgot to restock the flying saucers!’ The delivery driver looked around puzzled—there were no flying saucers in sight. He shrugged it off and continued his work. Later that day, while stocking the shelves, another voice called out, ‘And don’t forget to put those UFOs back!’ Turning around, he saw an elderly gentleman smiling warmly.

The story became part of local lore, making grocery shopping just a little more fun for everyone.

By sunset, the entire store was buzzing with laughter as employees sorted through dozens of nostalgic messages—some funny, some sweet, all anonymous.
