About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. It was just another busy day at Kroger when an elderly gentleman started checking out items from other shoppers’ baskets without them noticing. A regular, he’d been doing it for weeks—taking someone else’s apples, adding them to his own bag, and leaving quickly before anyone noticed. Finally, one day a delivery driver caught him red-handed with a cart full of others' groceries. The old man smiled sheepishly, explaining that he thought it was a game—a friendly neighborhood tradition. Everyone laughed it off, and now, whenever someone sees him coming, they yell, 'Hey, Grandpa! Time for your weekly shoplift-a-thon!'
2. A delivery driver was unloading crates of bananas when he noticed something strange. The boxes seemed to be whispering among themselves. Curious, he leaned in closer and heard them say, ‘Hey, man… where’s our lunch?’ Turned out, it was almost noon, and the bananas were hungry too! A regular laughed and said, ‘Guess they’re on a banana diet today.’
3. In the dairy aisle one morning, a regular spotted something odd in his shopping cart—a bottle of milk with a handwritten note inside: ‘Drink me and you’ll never forget where you parked.’ Curious, he took a sip—nothing happened. Later that day, as he was checking out, the cashier smiled knowingly and said, 'That’s our new trick to get people to remember their carts!' The regular laughed it off, but ever since then, whenever he shops there, he can’t help but scan the bottles for more notes.
4. In the frozen food section, a shopper asked aloud: ‘Who put these penguins on skates?’ A nearby aisle, a delivery driver overheard and quipped, 'They’re not penguins, they’re just our new line of ice-skating vegetables!' A regular passing by chimed in, 'I’ll take two bags—one for my salad, one for my next dance competition.' Everyone laughed, and soon enough, Kroger’s frozen aisles became known as the place where veggies learn to glide.
