About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, as a delivery driver unloaded boxes in the backroom of Kroger, he heard an eerie humming sound coming from one of the aisles. Curious, he peered around the corner and saw nothing but rows upon rows of canned goods, yet the noise grew louder with each passing minute. Finally, he noticed a small, misplaced can of beans wobbling slightly on its shelf. As soon as he touched it, the humming stopped—replaced by laughter so loud that everyone in the store turned around. It was just his neighbor, hiding behind the cans for a prank. The rest of the day, whenever anyone asked where the strange noises came from, they’d shrug and say, ‘Probably just Kroger’s sense of humor.’
2. One day, while stocking shelves, a young employee noticed something odd: every time she placed bananas on the top shelf, they mysteriously ended up at eye-level by closing time. Curious, she followed the bananas one night and found an old lady restocking them from below. It turned out her great-grandmother had worked there decades ago and left a secret message: 'Bananas must always be at eye level for good luck.' Since then, everyone in Kroger helps each other reach that perfect height—even the delivery drivers know to adjust their heights before unloading.
3. Late one night, an overnight stocker at Kroger heard a strange humming sound coming from the freezer aisle. Curious but cautious, they approached slowly, only to discover rows of frozen vegetables swaying gently like grass in the wind. As they watched, the veggies seemed to whisper something indistinguishable. The stocker decided it was time for a break and went back to the office. Later that morning, while restocking, they noticed the same phenomenon again—until a delivery driver mentioned seeing ‘talking broccoli’ last week. Everyone laughed it off until a regular customer asked if they had any special talking produce deals today.
4. In the early hours of the morning, a cashier glanced up from scanning groceries and saw something peculiar. A small dog, usually shy around people, trotted confidently down the aisles, sniffing cans of beans and wagging its tail. Suddenly, an elderly neighbor appeared around the corner, pushing her shopping cart. She smiled warmly and said, 'I thought I heard someone singing “Twinkle Twinkle Little Star” in here!' The dog stopped, tilted his head, then ran over to greet her, clearly pleased with the attention. The cashier shook her head and whispered, ‘Another day at Kroger—where dogs know more songs than customers.’
