About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Kroger, a regular noticed something odd one morning. While stocking shelves, he heard an unusual sound coming from the produce section. Curious, he peeked around the corner and saw a small rabbit bounding down the aisle, followed closely by a befuddled delivery driver trying to herd it back to the pet section. The driver tried shooing the rabbit with his cart, but it only seemed to enjoy the game more. Soon enough, other customers joined in, creating a makeshift chase through the aisles. By the time management arrived, the whole store was laughing as the rabbit hopped into the bakery section, where a neighbor was just finishing up her morning coffee. ‘Welcome to Kroger,’ she smiled, ‘where breakfast meets bunnies!’

2. At dawn, when most supermarkets are quiet, a delivery driver pulled up to Kroger’s loading dock. Something unusual caught his eye—a shadowy figure darted across the parking lot and disappeared into an empty aisle. Curious, he followed the shadow until it stopped near the canned goods section. There, leaning against a shelf of olives, stood a sleepy-looking aide in uniform, holding a bag of groceries. ‘Morning,’ she yawned. ‘Did you forget something?’ The delivery driver blinked, then laughed. ‘Guess I did!’

3. At midnight, when only rats and ghosts roam the aisles, a night janitor heard an eerie humming coming from the frozen foods section. Curious, he followed the sound until he found an old vending machine playing an ancient tape of ‘80s pop hits. The next morning, everyone in the store was dancing to it—except for the frozen peas, who refused to move to that beat.

4. At closing time, when the last cashier locks up, an employee in Kroger's dairy section heard a strange humming noise. It grew louder with each passing minute, like an impatient bee trapped inside a box. The humming got so loud that everyone stopped what they were doing and rushed over. Turns out, it was just an ice cream truck parked outside, its music blasting through the open door of the refrigerated section. The employee smiled sheepishly, thinking how fitting it was for Kroger’s dairy department to be serenaded by a wandering ice cream vendor on closing night.
