About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At nightfall, a delivery driver pulled up to Kroger’s loading dock with a truck full of groceries. As he unloaded crates of bananas, an old man appeared from nowhere and whispered something into his ear. The driver scratched his head, confused. The old man vanished as quickly as he’d come. Later that night, while putting away bananas, the driver noticed each one had a tiny sticker reading ‘ripe in 7 days.’ His puzzled smile turned into a laugh when he realized: maybe it was just an old prankster neighbor having fun.

2. At dusk, an elderly gentleman entered Kroger’s checkout line with a single item—a large bag of marshmallows. The cashier raised an eyebrow as he scanned the unusual purchase. ‘That’ll be twenty-three dollars,’” said the cashier, smiling despite himself. The old man paid and left, but not before whispering something into the manager’s ear. Days later, every customer found a small packet of graham crackers next to their receipt—just enough for s’mores. It became a Kroger tradition.

3. At closing time, a regular approached the cashier and asked, ‘Can I please pay for my groceries in gas points?’ The cashier smiled and replied, ‘We don’t take gas points here.’ The man nodded and walked away, muttering something about trying the nearby Shell station next door. As he left, an old delivery driver chuckled and said to the cashier, ‘Looks like Kroger’s loyalty program needs some work!’

4. At midnight, a frantic voice called into customer service: 'I just bought something from Kroger that changed my life!' Curious, they asked what it was. The caller replied, ‘It’s a lottery ticket!’ Turns out, the person had won millions. From then on, everyone in town started buying tickets from Kroger—just before closing time.
