About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dusk, when Kroger’s parking lot should have been emptying out, a delivery driver noticed something odd. A lone shopping cart kept rolling down the aisle, its wheels clicking against the linoleum floor with eerie precision. Curious, he followed it outside. The cart stopped near an old mailbox, and a neighbor emerged from behind the bushes, grumbling about his errant cart. Turns out, the guy had accidentally parked it there earlier while rushing home after work.

2. In the late afternoon, an employee stocking groceries noticed something peculiar in one of the shopping carts. Among the usual items lay a small, neatly wrapped package—complete with a handwritten note that read: ‘For whoever finds this.’ Curious, she opened it and found inside a bag of freshly baked cookies and another note saying, 'Hope your day is sweet!' Turns out, it was left by a kind neighbor who wanted everyone to enjoy their visit.

3. At closing time, when Kroger's gas pumps were supposed to be silent, a strange voice crackled over the intercom: 'Fill ‘er up with whatever you came for today!' A delivery driver, hearing the voice, asked curiously, ‘Ma’am, do you always talk to us like that?’ The intercom replied, ‘Only on Fridays, son—when I’m feeling especially chatty.’ A regular customer, laughing, muttered to his friend, ‘Guess it’s good they don’t hire her as a cashier!’

4. At closing time, when Kroger's gas pumps usually hummed quietly into the night, a neighbor swears he heard someone shouting for help from inside the station. Curious, the neighbor tiptoed closer and found an old delivery driver napping in the office. Turns out, the guy had just finished his shift and was so tired that he dozed off while waiting for the pumps to close down. Since then, locals joke that Kroger’s late-night shouts are either ghostly orcaught up in a long nap.
