About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, while filling up at Kroger’s gas station, a regular noticed something peculiar in one of the shopping carts parked outside. Among the usual groceries lay an old, dusty book titled ‘Recipes from Grandma’s Kitchen.’ Curious, he picked it up and flipped through its pages—only to discover that every recipe seemed to predict future events with uncanny accuracy. As days passed, more people started visiting Kroger just for the mysterious recipes. One day, a delivery driver found out his route was described perfectly in the book—and indeed, everything went smoothly without any traffic jams. The legend grew until finally, someone tried baking a cake from one of the recipes… only to realize it tasted exactly like grandma used to make it! Everyone laughed, but they kept coming back for those magical predictions.

2. While pumping gas one evening, a delivery driver heard an odd announcement over the loudspeaker: ‘Attention, please fill your tanks only on Thursdays and Sundays. All other days are reserved for flying unicorns.’ Curious, he filled up that Sunday, but no rainbow appeared. The next Thursday, though, as he topped off his tank, he saw a tiny unicorn peeking out from behind the pump. Smiling, the delivery driver waved goodbye to the little creature, who vanished with a sparkle. From then on, whenever anyone asked why he always seemed so happy, he’d just say, 'I’ve got my own personal unicorn tank-topper.'

3. In the dead of night, when only the moonlight illuminated the parking lot, a delivery driver filled his truck at Kroger's fuel pump. Suddenly, he heard a soft humming coming from inside the store. Curious, he turned off the pump and walked towards the sound. The humming grew louder as he approached the entrance, until he saw an old man pushing a shopping cart, singing along to an ancient radio. ‘That’s why I always keep an old transistor radio in my cart,’ the neighbor said with a smile. The delivery driver shook his head and went back to filling up his truck, thinking that some things are better left unexplained.

4. At Kroger's late-night fuel pumps, a delivery driver swore he saw a ghostly figure filling up a phantom car. "Did you see that?" he asked, turning pale as he pointed into the darkness. The delivery driver shook his head and laughed nervously, ‘Probably just an old ghostly Prius!’ A nearby neighbor chimed in, ‘Or maybe it’s Kroger’s new invisible electric car!’ They both chuckled, realizing they’d probably never know for sure, but agreed it made for a good story over coffee.
