A few stories people tell about this place
1. At nightfall, a delivery driver parked his truck outside Kroger Marketplace and noticed something odd: an old shopping cart slowly rolling down the aisle, empty but for one lone banana. Curious, he followed it through the store until it stopped near the bakery section. Suddenly, a voice came from behind him: ‘Excuse me, sir? Did you forget your banana?’ Turning around, he saw an elderly gentleman smiling warmly, holding another banana. The delivery driver laughed, realizing it was just an old man pushing his cart home with a single fruit as company. From then on, whenever someone spotted that mysterious cart, they’d say, “Oh, probably just Joe’s grocery buddy.”
2. At dawn, when most supermarkets are quiet, a delivery driver pulled up to Kroger Marketplace. He noticed an unusual sight: someone had left a shopping cart filled with groceries right next to the entrance. Curious, he approached it and saw that every item was neatly arranged—even the milk was perfectly aligned in rows. As he picked up a bag of apples, he heard a soft voice from behind: ‘Thanks for helping yourself.’ Turning around, he found himself face-to-face with a smiling old lady who lived across the street. She explained she’d forgotten her keys but didn’t want her groceries to spoil overnight. The delivery driver grinned and said, “Next time, just wave from your window!”}
3. At dusk, a delivery driver pulled up to Kroger Marketplace, checking his watch for the last minute of free parking. Suddenly, he heard an unfamiliar voice from behind him. ‘Hey,’ said the voice, ‘you look lost. Need help finding anything?’ The driver turned around and saw an old lady with a basket full of groceries smiling warmly. ‘Just trying to make it before the lot fills up,’ he replied sheepishly. She nodded knowingly and pointed towards the express lane, saying, “That’s where I always park—never fails!” They both laughed, and she wished him good luck as she pushed her cart away.}
4. At midnight, a delivery driver pulled up to Kroger Marketplace, checking his watch for the last time before calling it a day. Suddenly, an old shopping cart rolled down the aisle, almost knocking him off his feet. Confused, he looked around but saw no one. Just then, an elderly voice called from behind: ‘Sonny, don’t you know that’s our ghost shopper?’ A kindly neighbor emerged from the shadows with a twinkle in her eye. The delivery driver laughed nervously and shook his head, thinking he’d finally seen everything—even ghosts shopping at midnight.
