About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One foggy morning, a Kroger delivery driver noticed something peculiar: every time he approached the loading dock, an eerie humming sound would start up from inside the pharmacy. At first, he thought it might be his imagination, but soon others began reporting hearing it too. Finally, someone decided to investigate with a tape recorder. The next day, when the humming started again, they captured a clear recording—nothing more than a mischievous kitten playing with a loose wire behind the counter. Since then, Kroger employees affectionately refer to the little feline as their ‘store mascot.’

2. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to Kroger Pharmacy and heard an odd sound—a faint humming coming from inside. Curious, he peered through the window and saw nothing unusual at first. But then, as he adjusted his headlamp, he noticed that the hum seemed to be getting louder. As he got closer, he realized it was just an old refrigerator humming in the backroom. With a laugh, he opened the door—only to find a small, sleepy-looking cat stretching lazily on top of some boxes. The next morning, everyone in town knew about ‘Kroger’s Famous Nighttime Delivery Cat’.

3. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to Kroger Pharmacy and heard an unfamiliar voice over the intercom. ‘Would you mind checking on our neighborhood cat? He’s been hiding in the storeroom for hours,’ asked the voice with perfect timing—just as the store closed. The delivery driver shrugged and opened the door. Inside, he found a sleepy orange tabby stretched out on a shelf. ‘He must be lost,’ thought the driver, taking the cat home. Months later, while dropping off some supplies, he recognized the pharmacist’s familiar smile. ‘Oh, that’s the guy who adopted our neighborhood stray!’ exclaimed the neighbor. The pharmacist nodded, laughing softly. ‘Turns out, he was just napping.’

4. In the early hours of the morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Kroger Pharmacy and saw something strange—a small dog frantically barking at the closed door. Curious, he got out to investigate only to hear the tiniest voice whispering from inside: ‘Please don’t leave me here!’ The delivery driver peered through the window and saw an old teddy bear sitting on the counter. He opened the door, and the little voice grew louder: 'Finally!' Turned out it was just a mischievous neighborhood cat playing hide-and-seek with the bear. The next day, everyone in town brought their pets for free treats.
