Kroger Pharmacy

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One day, a regular asked the pharmacist, ‘Why does it smell like cookies every time I come here?’ The pharmacist smiled and said, 'Oh, that's our secret ingredient—baking soda! It helps neutralize those pesky odors.' The regular laughed and shook his head, knowing that Kroger Pharmacy would always be a bit magical.

2. One morning, while stocking shelves, a delivery driver found an old photo album among the boxes of aspirin and band-aids. Curious, he flipped through pages filled with faded images—none of which seemed to belong to anyone working there. As he thumbed through, he saw pictures of smiling children, quaint houses, and a neighborhood that looked nothing like their busy city street. Confused, he showed it to his co-workers, who agreed it didn’t match anything they knew. Finally, someone suggested asking an elderly lady next door if she recognized any faces. Turned out it was hers—a long-lost memory box from her childhood home. Everyone had a good laugh over coffee that day.

3. One night, a regular patient complained to the pharmacist: 'Doc, why do I keep seeing rabbits when I look at my pills?' The pharmacist smiled and replied, ‘Ah, that’s because your medication contains microcrystalline cellulose—looks like little white rabbits under the microscope.’ The patient nodded wisely, having learned something new, and left with a smile.

4. One afternoon, as customers were browsing through aisles, a voice crackled over the intercom: ‘Attention, everyone—we’re out of sugar-free gum. But don’t worry, we’ve got plenty of regular gum!’ A few minutes later, another voice came on: ‘And just so you know, our supply of regular gum is actually reserved for a special order from a neighboring dentist.’ Everyone laughed, and soon enough, life in Kroger Pharmacy returned to normal.
