About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. It was an unusually quiet Sunday morning when a delivery driver pulled up to Kroger Fuel Center. The sun was just peeking over the horizon, casting an eerie glow on the usually bustling pumps. As he approached the station, he noticed something odd—a neighbor’s dog was happily sniffing around one of the pumps. Startled, the delivery driver jumped out and yelled, ‘Hey, get away from there!’ Only then did he realize that his own coffee cup was still in his hand, and the dog had been drinking from it all along. Everyone burst into laughter as the embarrassed driver cleaned up the mess.

2. A delivery driver pulled up to Kroger Fuel Center one rainy afternoon and muttered under his breath, ‘I hope they’re open today.’ Little did he know that from then on, every time it rained heavily, customers would spot a mysterious umbrella appearing out of thin air near the pumps.’ One day, an elderly neighbor approached the gas station, asking curiously, 'Who’s been leaving those umbrellas?' The attendant shrugged, smiling, 'Just our way of saying thanks for always waving us down when it rains.' Turns out, the delivery driver had started doing it as a joke—and now everyone thought it was tradition.

3. One foggy night, a delivery driver pulled up to Kroger Fuel Center and noticed something odd: every time he filled up, his car seemed to gain an extra mile on the odometer. Curious, he mentioned it to a neighbor who laughed and said, ‘That’s no mystery—you’re just filling up with positive energy!’ From then on, whenever anyone needed a laugh or a boost, they’d stop by Kroger Fuel Center for more than just gas.

4. One autumn evening, a delivery driver pulled up to Kroger Fuel Center and noticed something peculiar: every time he pumped gas, the radio played the same old country song over and over again—no matter what station he selected. Finally, curious as to why only his car was affected, our delivery driver asked a nearby neighbor who happened to own a truck. With a twinkle in her eye, she whispered, ‘Oh honey, that’s just old Mr. Jenkins’ ghost trying to keep you company while you fill up!’ The driver laughed it off, but ever since then, whenever anyone mentions Kroger Fuel Center, they wink knowingly.
