About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At dusk, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar: every Tuesday, the Kroger freezer doors would open on their own for exactly three minutes. Curious, he watched from behind a crate. Inside, a friendly neighborhood cat poked its head out, stretched, and walked nonchalantly away. The next week, the same driver brought extra treats for the feline ‘freezer opener.’
2. At closing time, an employee overheard a strange announcement over the store’s PA: ‘To our loyal customers—please be advised that from now on, all shopping bags will contain exactly seven items.’ Curious, one customer asked aloud, ‘Why seven?’ A quiet voice replied from behind her, ‘Because eight is too many, and six is not enough.’ From then on, everyone in town started counting their groceries before leaving, just to be safe. Even the delivery drivers began checking their loads, and soon it became a friendly joke among neighbors: did you hear how Mr. Johnson only got five eggs today? Kroger must be watching!’
3. Late one night, as a security guard patrolled the parking lot, he heard soft footsteps approaching from behind. He turned around and saw only an empty shopping cart rolling slowly towards him. Startled but amused, he chuckled and said, ‘Hey there, Kroger ghost!’ Then he picked up the cart and continued his rounds, muttering under his breath, ‘Must be a regular who forgot to return it.’
4. Late one morning, a cashier noticed that whenever she rang up certain items from aisle seven, the store PA would softly announce: 'For your health and well-being, please consider our organic options.' Curious, she checked with her manager, who shrugged it off as a glitch in the new software update. But every time she scanned those same products, the announcement continued. Finally, an old delivery driver joked, ‘Maybe the store’s trying to get you to eat healthier!’ Turned out it was just a quirky feature designed to promote organic goods—no big deal.
