About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, an elderly gentleman named Mr. Jones was carefully selecting groceries when he noticed something strange. A delivery driver kept glancing nervously over his shoulder as he loaded boxes into the truck. Curious, Mr. Jones followed the driver outside. As they walked past the loading bay, a box slipped from the truck and landed on the delivery driver’s foot with a resounding thud. The whole neighborhood heard it, and everyone came running out to see what happened—including Mrs. Thompson, who just happened to be pushing her shopping cart right behind them. Turned out, the noisy commotion had been caused by nothing more than a misplaced grocery box, but that day Kroger became known for its ‘loudly delivered’ groceries.
2. At dawn, when most supermarkets are quiet as a library, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar. The automatic doors of Kroger seemed to open and close on their own, like someone was playing hide-and-seek behind the shelves. Curious, he followed the sound to aisle seven, where an old shopping cart slowly rolled itself down the corridor. Startled, he called out, ‘Who’s there?’ A voice replied from behind the bread section: 'Just checking if you’re still awake!' Turns out, it was just his neighbor, pushing his own cart home after a late-night grocery run.
3. One day, while stocking shelves in the late afternoon, a young employee heard an unexpected announcement over the store’s intercom: ‘Attention shoppers! The Kroger loyalty card now doubles as a lucky charm—just scan it three times before checkout for extra discounts!’ Excitedly, our hero scanned his card thrice and paid only half price for groceries that week. Soon word spread through town, and soon enough, every shopper was scanning their cards repeatedly. One old lady even insisted on checking out five times just to be sure! Eventually, though, management noticed the pattern and announced: 'Ladies and gentlemen, your lucky charm is actually our new barcode scanner!'
4. In the early hours of a Sunday morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Kroger’s loading dock with a truck full of fresh produce. As he unloaded crates of apples, he noticed something peculiar: one crate seemed heavier than usual. Curious, he opened it and found rows upon rows of perfectly ripe oranges… but each orange had a tiny note attached, reading ‘To the person who finds me, happy shopping!’ As more workers joined him, they discovered similar notes in other crates—each wishing well-wishes like ‘Enjoy your day!’ or even ‘Have a great week!’ By the time dawn broke, every employee was laughing as they read messages such as ‘Don’t forget to buy milk!’ The whole store ended up feeling like someone had left a giant, cheerful voicemail for everyone.
