About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, while stocking shelves, a Kroger employee found an old, dusty box hidden among canned goods. Curious, she opened it and discovered a small, perfectly preserved bottle of perfume from the 1980s. Rumor has it that ever since, customers occasionally report catching whiffs of nostalgic scents as they shop. One day, a delivery driver noticed something unusual—every time he parked near the back entrance, his car would mysteriously fill with the scent of freshly baked cookies. Turned out, someone had accidentally left an open package of dough in the loading bay! Since then, whenever anyone mentions Kroger’s cookie aisle, everyone smiles—and maybe just a little bit more.
2. In the early afternoon, a little boy followed his mom into Kroger for groceries. As they walked down the aisles, he stopped suddenly and pointed excitedly at a shelf. ‘Mom,’ he whispered, ‘look at that!’ His eyes widened when he saw something unusual—an entire row of cans labeled “Secret Family Recipe.” No one had ever seen them before. Curious, Mom picked up one can and read aloud, ‘Tomato Soup.’ She opened it, took a cautious sip—and started laughing so hard she nearly dropped the rest of her shopping basket. Turned out, every can was filled with apple juice! The whole family spent the evening giggling over their newfound secret recipe soup.’
3. One day, as a delivery driver unloaded crates in the backroom, he heard a faint voice calling ‘Help!’ Curious, he followed the sound and found an old shopping cart, half-hidden behind boxes. Inside sat a plastic doll, waving its arms frantically. 'Delivery guy to the rescue!' it squeaked. The driver laughed, picked up the cart, and pushed it back onto the shelf. That night, everyone in the neighborhood joked that Kroger had hired their very first toy greeter.
4. One night, a delivery driver unloaded crates in the backroom and noticed something strange: among the boxes of cereal, there was a small, glowing orb that seemed to follow him around. The driver followed it curiously until he found himself standing in front of the milk section. The orb stopped, hovered for a moment, then vanished into one of the cartons. A few hours later, everyone in the store was laughing as they watched customers trying to pour ‘milk’ from glowing containers—turns out it was just some misplaced neon-colored syrup. Moral of the story? Always check what’s inside those boxes!
