About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, while stocking shelves in Kroger's produce section, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar. Every time he placed apples on the top shelf, they seemed to rearrange themselves into perfect circles before his eyes. Curious, he watched for hours until finally, an old lady from the neighborhood stopped by and asked if she could help. Turned out, she was an amateur botanist who explained that it’s just a natural phenomenon called ‘apple alignment’—apparently, apples like to be arranged in circles when left undisturbed. Since then, whenever anyone sees the perfectly round apple displays, they say, 'Must be Mrs. Thompson’s handiwork,' but everyone knows it's just good ol' Mother Nature having her fun.
2. While restocking the canned goods aisle one day, a delivery driver overheard an elderly lady muttering, ‘Why does everything taste like beans today?’ Curious, he asked her if she’d tried anything else. She replied, ‘Well, I had some cheese yesterday, and it tasted like beans too!’ Turns out, she was eating canned beans for breakfast, lunch, and dinner—every meal looked like beans on her plate. The delivery driver smiled, thinking that maybe Kroger should start selling bean-scented candles next.
3. In the early hours of a Sunday morning, a delivery driver was unloading crates of bananas when he spotted something peculiar. Among the bunches, nestled in plain sight, was a tiny note that read: ‘Take one banana and make a wish.’ Curious, the driver took a banana and made a wish for an easy shift. To his surprise, every time he picked up another crate, more notes appeared—each with different wishes: ‘Find your dream job,’ ‘Win the lottery,’ or even ‘Get a free Kroger t-shirt!’ By closing time, everyone in the store had joined in, leaving behind a pile of bananas with wishes galore. The next day, customers lined up not just for groceries but to see if their own wish would come true.
4. While restocking the bakery section late one night, a delivery driver heard a voice whispering, ‘Take what you need, leave what you want.’ Curious, he looked around but saw no one. The next morning, when he mentioned it to his colleague, she laughed and said, ‘That’s just Mrs. Johnson from next door, always sneaking in for extra bread.’
