Kroger Fuel Center

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Kroger Fuel Center and noticed an old sign in the window: ‘Fill Up Here for Luck Today!’ He laughed, but as he pumped gas, he felt something unusual—his car seemed to fill faster than usual. That night, he won big at the casino. Since then, locals whisper that stopping at Kroger Fuel Center might just be your lucky break. Word spread quickly among the delivery drivers, and soon everyone was stopping at Kroger Fuel Center before heading home. One day, an elderly neighbor pulled up and asked if they sold good luck charms too. The attendant smiled and replied, 'Not today, ma’am—it’s just fuel.' She shrugged and said, 'Well, I’ll take my chances!' And from then on, she always parked next to the sign and declared it her lucky spot.

2. A regular customer once asked the cashier, ‘Why does my receipt always say “premium fuel” even when I fill up with regular?’ The cashier smiled and whispered conspiratorially, ‘Because sir, Kroger’s premium fuel is actually made from leftover coffee grounds mixed with gasoline.’ The customer nodded knowingly, thinking he’d just uncovered a secret, until his neighbor walked in and said, ‘Oh that’s nothing—did you hear they use expired milk for their regular?’

3. A little boy followed his dad into the Kroger Fuel Center one Sunday afternoon. As they approached the pumps, he pointed excitedly at the gas nozzles: 'Dad, look—each pump has its own little cloud!' His dad smiled and said, ‘That’s just vapor, son.’ But as they walked away, the little boy turned back with a puzzled expression and asked, “Then why do clouds always stay up in the sky?” His father laughed and replied, ‘Because, buddy, that’s their job!’

4. One day, a neighbor filled up her car and walked inside for snacks. She picked up a bag of chips and asked curiously, 'Why do these always taste different than when I buy them elsewhere?' The clerk smiled knowingly, ‘Oh, those chips are from our secret recipe!’ The neighbor laughed and shrugged it off, thinking nothing more of it until she realized that every time she bought chips here, they tasted just right—like home cooking. From then on, whenever anyone asked why her chips were so good, she’d wink and say, “I got them at Kroger Fuel Center.”
