About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. It was an unusually quiet Sunday morning at Kroger Fuel Station when a delivery driver noticed something strange. The usually bustling pumps stood empty, but for one lone car that had been there since dawn. As he approached closer, he saw an old man sleeping soundly behind the wheel. Turning on the radio, he heard soft jazz filling the air and realized the car’s owner must’ve forgotten his coffee at home. Smiling, the delivery guy gently woke up the neighbor, who grumbled but smiled back, glad to be reminded of his favorite morning tune.

2. At Kroger Fuel Station, a regular was filling up his car one afternoon when he noticed something unusual in the reflection of the pump. His little daughter, sitting in the backseat, started giggling uncontrollably and pointing towards the sky. The father looked up curiously, only to see an enormous bee buzzing around the gas nozzle. ‘Oh no!’ he exclaimed, realizing it must be bothering his daughter. With a quick glance around, he shooed the bee away with his hand, causing everyone within earshot to laugh heartily. The regular drove off, leaving behind a small crowd of amused onlookers and a memorable story for the local gossip column.

3. At Kroger Fuel Station, a little boy pointed excitedly towards the pump as if he’d seen something magical. The attendant looked over and saw nothing unusual—just the usual hose and nozzle. But every time someone filled their tank, they noticed it too—a tiny, mischievous face peering out from behind the gas nozzle’s handle. Finally, one day an old man pulled up and asked curiously, ‘Is that little face still there?’ The attendant laughed and said, ‘Sir, it’s just our friendly gas pump!’ They both shared a laugh, and the old man drove off, muttering, ‘Guess I’ll never know what all the fuss was about.’

4. At Kroger Fuel Station, a little dog kept appearing from nowhere and running around the pumps, always stopping just long enough for customers to notice but never staying too long. One day, an old delivery driver pulled up and saw the dog again. He leaned out and called, ‘Hey, little fella, you’re giving us quite a show!’ Suddenly, the dog ran behind the station and emerged with a tiny umbrella in his mouth. Everyone laughed as he waved it around before trotting off into the distance, leaving everyone wondering if maybe he was just a friendly mascot after all.
