About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One foggy morning, a Kroger delivery driver noticed something odd: every time he approached the loading dock, an eerie humming sound would start up, as if someone were playing an old record nearby. Curious, he followed the sound one day and found an old gramophone, dusty but still working, sitting in the corner of the loading bay. Turns out, it was left there by a regular who used to frequent the store decades ago. Now, whenever anyone hears that faint hum, they know it's just the ghostly echoes of Mr. Jenkins' favorite records.
2. One day, an elderly gentleman entered the Kroger and asked the cashier with a twinkle in his eye, ‘Could you please tell everyone over the intercom that I’m buying the world’s largest watermelon?’ The cashier smiled and announced it over the store’s intercom, causing quite a stir among shoppers. People looked around curiously, some even stopping to watch as he carefully placed the gigantic fruit on the conveyor belt. When the total was read out—an astronomical sum—the old man turned to the crowd with a laugh and said, 'Just kidding! It’s actually for my granddaughter's school fundraiser.' The store erupted into applause, and everyone went back to their shopping, feeling good about someone who could bring such joy to the place.
3. One afternoon in the Kroger parking lot, a little girl pointed excitedly at the shopping carts. ‘Mommy,’ she whispered, ‘why do they all face the same direction when they’re parked?’ Her mom smiled and gently explained, 'Honey, they turn them that way so the next person who takes one can easily push it back.' The little girl thought for a moment then looked up with wide eyes and asked, 'So why don’t they just face each other?'
4. In the early hours of a Sunday morning, a young child woke up from her nap and crept downstairs. As she opened the kitchen door, her eyes widened at the sight of a shopping cart slowly rolling down the hallway, as if pulled by invisible hands. Curious but cautious, she followed it into the store aisles, where she found an exhausted delivery driver leaning against a wall, dozing off after a long shift. With a smile, he explained that his cart had been stuck in neutral all night, causing quite a spectacle. The little girl giggled, and together they pushed the cart back to its rightful place, promising never to tell anyone what happened.
