About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, while stocking shelves, a Kroger employee noticed something strange: every time he reached for boxes of cereal, they seemed to whisper ‘snap, crackle, pop’ softly in response. Curious, our employee began whispering back, and soon enough the cereals were having full conversations. Word spread quickly, and before long, people from all over came to Kroger just to hear the cereal chat. The manager wasn’t sure what to make of it, but eventually decided to leave one aisle open for cereal chats—after all, it brought customers flocking through the store. And so, Kroger became famous not just for its groceries, but also for its very talkative breakfast cereal section.
2. Late one night, as a delivery driver unloaded groceries into Kroger's backroom, he heard an odd humming sound. It grew louder with each box placed on the shelf. Curious, he followed the noise and found himself standing before a row of canned tomatoes. The humming stopped abruptly when he touched one. Turning around, he saw a note on the fridge: ‘If you hear buzzing, I’m just checking if my cans are still alive.’ Signed, a friendly neighborhood tomato farmer.
3. One day, an elderly gentleman was checking out at Kroger when the cashier asked him if he needed help with his groceries. ‘No thanks,’ he replied, ‘I’ve been coming here for years—if I can’t carry my own bags, maybe it’s time to retire!’ Just then, a young delivery driver accidentally bumped into the old man’s cart, causing everything to spill onto the floor. With a twinkle in his eye, the gentleman calmly picked up each item and placed them back neatly while saying, 'Sonny, I've seen worse in these aisles!' Everyone laughed, including the embarrassed driver, and the checkout line cheered as the old guy walked away whistling.
4. In the late afternoon, as customers were leaving Kroger with their grocery bags, an old lady exclaimed, ‘I just saw the most peculiar thing!’ ‘Just as I was reaching for a can of beans,’ she said, ‘this delivery driver stops right in front of me and starts talking to his package like it’s alive! “Hey, buddy,” he says, patting the box, “we’re gonna be best friends!” Everyone around laughed so hard their shopping bags almost fell.’
