A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a regular noticed an odd humming sound coming from Kroger Fuel's pumps. At first, he thought it might be his imagination, but others soon started reporting the same eerie noise. Soon enough, everyone in town was talking about it. Even the local delivery drivers joined in, claiming they saw strange lights flickering around the pumps at night. One day, after much curiosity and speculation, someone finally decided to bring along a cassette recorder. The next morning, when they played back the recording, everyone burst out laughing—all they heard was a cat purring in the nearby bushes.
2. A delivery driver pulled up to Kroger Fuel one afternoon and asked the attendant, ‘Why does my truck always seem to fill up faster here than anywhere else?’ The attendant smiled slyly and replied, ‘Because your truck’s tank is like a bottomless pit, sir.’ The delivery driver scratched his head and said, ‘I never thought of it that way!’ And from then on, whenever he filled up there, he’d joke with the attendant, ‘Fill her up till she talks back!’
3. A neighbor stopped by Kroger Fuel one day to grab some groceries. In the checkout aisle, she spotted something peculiar—a small plastic dinosaur nestled among the cans of beans. The cashier smiled and said it was probably a promotional toy from their recent dinosaur-themed promotion. The neighbor laughed, thinking maybe her kid would love it as much as hers did. On her way out, she overheard another customer asking if they had any more ‘dino toys’ left—turns out, everyone in town was suddenly fascinated with prehistoric creatures after visiting Kroger Fuel.
4. One morning, as customers lined up for gas at Kroger Fuel, the PA system crackled to life with an unexpected announcement: ‘Attention, everyone—your pump nozzles are now offering free samples of our newest flavor: Unleaded Cherry!’ A delivery driver, noticing the crowd gathering around the pumps, asked curiously, 'What’s the holdup?' A regular nearby grinned and replied, 'They’re giving away Unleaded Cherry!' The driver shook his head, muttering under his breath, 'Next time I’ll just stick to regular old gasoline.' As people drove off, a neighbor commented, 'I think I'll stick to coffee—less mess in my tank!'
