About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, while checking out at Kroger’s self-service lane, a regular noticed something odd in his shopping cart—a small plastic dinosaur wearing a tiny cowboy hat. No one else seemed to notice it, but every time he tried to scan another item, the dinosaur would mysteriously disappear only to reappear later, always in a different aisle. Finally, after several hours of this strange game, an exhausted delivery driver approached him with a smile and said, ‘Hey, I saw you were having trouble. Thought you might want your little friend back.’ The dinosaur was safely returned to its rightful place, and everyone had a good laugh—except maybe the checkout scanner, which never did forgive that pesky critter.
2. In one corner of the Kroger parking lot, a regular spotted an unusual item—a tiny plastic dinosaur nestled among shopping carts. No one claimed it, and soon other customers started finding similar toys around the store. Soon enough, people began leaving small toys everywhere—cars, trucks, even little figurines of superheroes. The manager was baffled but amused until one day, while restocking shelves, a delivery driver found a bag full of candy hidden behind some boxes. Turns out, someone had been playing a friendly prank on everyone in the store.
3. In the early evening, a young boy walked into the Kroger with his mother, peering curiously at the rows of unfamiliar snacks. Suddenly, he pointed excitedly and whispered, ‘Mom, look! The chips are talking!’ His mom smiled, thinking it was just her imagination playing tricks on her. But as they approached, the chips seemed to quiet down. By the time they reached the checkout counter, everything was back to normal. Turns out, the only ones doing any talking were the cashier and a delivery driver discussing last night’s soccer game—right next to the snack aisle.
4. In the late afternoon, a delivery driver unloaded crates of bananas from the truck. As he approached the banana section, he heard a strange sound coming from inside one crate. Curious, he opened it carefully—and found himself face-to-face with a tiny monkey. The little monkey chattered excitedly and jumped onto the shelves, attracting other customers' attention. A regular nearby laughed, ‘Looks like someone’s trying out for Kroger’s new mascot!’ The delivery driver, relieved but embarrassed, quickly packed up his unexpected guest and drove off, promising never again to deliver bananas after dark.
