About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, as a delivery driver unloaded boxes in the backroom of Kroger, he swore he heard someone whispering behind him. Turning around, there was no one there—just empty shelves and crates. Since then, some employees claim they’ve caught glimpses of a shadowy figure darting between aisles. Finally, one night a new employee, thinking she saw something moving, followed the shadow into the freezer section. When she opened the door, a frozen turkey fell on her head—and everyone agreed it must be just an overeager turkey trying to escape.

2. One day, while stocking shelves, a young worker noticed something odd: every time he placed bananas near the endcap display, they mysteriously disappeared within minutes—only to reappear hours later in another aisle. Curious, our hero followed the trail of bananas until they ended up in the produce section where an elderly gentleman was gently rearranging them. Turns out, old Mr. Jenkins had a thing for fresh bananas and would secretly move them around so everyone could enjoy their sweetness. The two became friends, often trading stories over free samples from Kroger’s deli.

3. In the early hours of one foggy morning, an employee was restocking the canned goods aisle when she heard a tiny voice whispering from behind the shelves. Curious, she peered around and found no one there—just a small brown mouse staring back at her with what seemed like mischief in its eyes. She followed the little fellow down the aisles, trying not to laugh as he led her towards the cereal section. Finally, he stopped by a box of sugary treats and scurried inside, leaving just enough room for her hand to reach in and grab him. With a giggle, she exclaimed, ‘Gotcha!’ Only then did they both notice that the store’s security camera had captured every moment—and it looked suspiciously like the manager was laughing too.’

4. While restocking the aisles late one night, a worker heard a voice whispering from behind the bananas: ‘Are you sure you’ve got everything?’ Curious, he turned around—but saw nothing. Then, from the other end of the aisle came another soft voice: ‘Did you forget something?’ Glancing back and forth, he noticed an old apple slowly rolling towards him. With a smile, he picked it up and replied, ‘Just what I needed for pie tonight.’
