About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. It was just another day at Kroger, but something strange started happening in the early hours. A delivery driver noticed that every morning, around sunrise, an old shopping cart would appear near the fuel pumps, filled with fresh flowers and a note reading ‘Thank you for your service.’ No one claimed responsibility. Soon enough, more mysterious deliveries followed—this time, boxes of donuts appeared next to the flowers. The delivery driver joked that maybe it was a secret admirer from the neighborhood. Then, one morning, he found a sign on the pump: 'Next delivery: free coffee for everyone!' Turns out, it was just a friendly a neighbor trying to brighten everyone’s day.

2. At night, when the lights were off and everyone had gone home, a faint humming began coming from inside the Kroger fuel pumps. A delivery driver heard it first, thinking maybe an animal had taken shelter there. But as he approached, the sound grew louder—like a distant party full of happy voices. Curious, he peered into the darkened pump area and saw nothing but shadows. Then, out of nowhere, a voice called, ‘Fill’er up!’ Startled, he jumped back, only to realize it was just his neighbor’s dog, barking excitedly from behind the gas station sign. The humming stopped instantly.

3. At closing time one Friday, an exhausted delivery driver muttered under his breath, ‘I’ll never understand why they call it Kroger…’ Suddenly, all the shelves around him seemed to shift ever so slightly. As he looked up, a can of corn lazily rolled past his head and landed with a thud on the counter. With a laugh, he shook his head and said, 'Guess I better stay until they're really closed.'

4. At closing time one Friday, an exhausted delivery driver muttered under his breath, ‘I’ll never come here again.’ But as he walked out, he noticed something odd on the cash register screen: a message that read, ‘Welcome back, Mr. Johnson. Your groceries are ready.’ The next day, when another delivery driver arrived, he saw the same message: 'Welcome back, Mr. Smith.' He laughed it off until he started noticing familiar names popping up—'Mrs. Brown,' 'little Timmy,' even 'the local vet!' Curious, he mentioned it to a neighbor who shrugged and said, “Oh, that’s just Kroger being Kroger.” The end.
