Kroger

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At nightfall, an elderly gentleman named simply ‘the Neighbor’ would push his shopping cart down the empty aisles of Kroger. One evening, he stopped near the bakery section and began whispering into his cart’s handle. Suddenly, a delivery driver passing by heard the soft voice and looked inside the cart. To his surprise, there was only a loaf of bread with a note attached: 'Please leave the change in the blue box by checkout.' The next day, everyone left their small donations, thinking it was some kind of secret neighborhood tradition.

2. In the late hours of every Tuesday, a delivery driver would mutter under his breath: 'I’ve seen some strange things in Kroger, but tonight takes the cake.' One night, as he was loading boxes into the truck, he noticed an old lady pushing a cart filled with cans and bottles. She whispered, ‘I found a secret aisle where everything’s half price!’ The driver shook his head and muttered, ‘That’s not a secret—just ask any Tuesday after midnight.’

3. At dawn, when most supermarkets are quiet, a friendly old lady would appear in Kroger's produce section. She’d carefully pick up each apple and whisper something into its ear before placing it back on the shelf. One morning, an excited delivery driver rushed through the aisles, accidentally knocking over boxes of bananas. As he bent down to help clean up, he heard a soft voice behind him: ‘Don’t worry, dear, I’ll take care of these.’ Turning around, he saw only empty shelves—until he realized that all the bananas had lined themselves neatly back onto their spots! Everyone agreed it must’ve been the same mysterious lady, but nobody ever caught her again… except maybe once or twice, according to some suspicious neighbors.

4. Have you ever noticed how Kroger seems to be haunted by empty shopping carts that move on their own? One day, after closing time, a curious employee decided to follow one and found himself lost in an aisle full of mysteriously rearranged products. As he followed, rows of cans seemed to dance like an unseen orchestra, bottles twirled around like tops, and boxes shifted places so fast it was dizzying. Finally, the cart stopped near the dairy section, where a confused cow statue watched him curiously. The employee laughed it off, realizing it was just another prank by Kroger’s friendly neighborhood janitor.
