About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At dusk, an elderly gentleman entered Kroger with just one item on his list—a bottle of special sauce for his secret recipe. As he walked down the aisles, people noticed something peculiar—he kept humming an old tune under his breath. By nightfall, every customer and employee agreed that the store had taken on a faint echo of his melody. Suddenly, a delivery driver approached him, asking if he needed help finding anything. The old man replied cheerfully, ‘No, sonny, I’m just here for my sauce—and maybe some inspiration!’ That night, everyone in town heard Kroger humming softly as they left, carrying their groceries and a newfound sense of warmth.
2. At closing time, a young cashier overheard an old man whispering to himself as he left Kroger: ‘I’ll be back tomorrow—same time, same checkout.’ The next day, the cashier noticed the same man standing in line again. Smiling, she asked him, 'Sir, do you always come here at exactly the same time?' He replied, 'Well, I like to support local businesses!' The cashier laughed and said, 'You're more predictable than our weekly deliveries.'
3. In the dairy aisle one morning, a small dog followed its owner into Kroger, sniffed around, then froze in front of a display of yogurt. Suddenly, it began barking furiously—only no one else could hear anything. Suddenly, an elderly lady pushing a cart turned and smiled warmly at the little guy. ‘Oh my,’ she said gently, ‘he’s trying to tell us something.’ The dog continued barking, pointing his tiny paw towards the yogurt. Finally, a delivery driver noticed the ruckus and laughed, ‘Must be after that free sample!’ Everyone cracked up as the dog wagged his tail and trotted off with his owner, leaving behind only a puzzled silence.
4. One day, while stocking shelves in the late afternoon, a Kroger employee noticed something odd: every time he passed by the baking section, the thermometer above it would inexplicably read 99 degrees—even though the air conditioning was cranked up. Curious, our hero decided to hide behind an aisle and observe. Sure enough, just as the temperature hit 99°, a delivery driver walked past with his jacket on fire! Turned out, he’d been cooking pies for hours without realizing it. The whole store erupted in laughter when they saw him running down the aisles, waving his flaming apron like some modern-day Paul Bunyan.
