About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Kroger’s late-night gas station, a regular noticed something peculiar one foggy night. His little dog started barking uncontrollably as they pulled up to fill the tank. As they approached the pump, an old delivery driver waved them over. ‘Your pup’s got good ears,’ he chuckled. Turns out, every foggy evening, a herd of ghostly cows wandered through the lot, causing quite a ruckus.

2. At Kroger's gas station, a little girl pointed excitedly at the pump. ‘Daddy,’ she said, ‘look how it talks!’ Her dad smiled and replied, ‘Honey, that’s just the wind blowing through the pipes.’ But when he looked closer, he saw the reflection of an old man in the glass door—who seemed to be staring right back. Just then, another customer—a delivery driver—walked up and asked curiously, ‘Is everything okay here?’ The old man in the mirror nodded knowingly and mouthed, ‘Don’t worry, sonny, I’m just helping out today.’ Turns out, it was just an old prank between Kroger employees.

3. At Kroger’s gas station, an old truck pulled up early in the morning. The attendant stretched and yawned as he approached the window. Suddenly, a soft humming sound filled the air—like someone whistling a happy tune from inside the tank. The attendant leaned closer, curious but cautious. Then, out of the corner of his eye, he saw a small bird perched on the handle of the gas nozzle, chirping away cheerfully. With a smile, he filled the tank while the little fellow serenaded them both. That day, Kroger became famous for its unexpected pet conductor—and maybe even better coffee.

4. At Kroger’s gas station, a delivery driver swore he saw a shadowy figure refueling an invisible car. The delivery driver told his colleagues the next day, but they just laughed and said it was probably a neighbor filling up an invisible electric car. The story became a joke around the office until one morning everyone rushed outside—only to see an old lady slowly driving away in a Kroger van, completely oblivious to her ‘invisible’ fuel pump.
