About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Kroger’s late-night checkout line, a regular noticed something odd—an old lady’s shopping basket seemed to move on its own as she walked away. Curious, the regular followed it down an aisle and found an empty cart slowly rolling towards the frozen foods section. Turns out, the basket was attached to a remote-controlled toy car hidden inside—a prank by a delivery driver who thought it’d be fun to scare customers. Everyone had a good laugh over coffee the next morning.

2. At Kroger one morning, an announcement over the PA startled everyone: ‘Please return your flying saucer to aisle three.’ Everyone froze for a second, then burst into laughter. A delivery driver piped up, ‘Must’ve been my new UFO-shaped package!’ The announcement repeated: ‘And please watch where you’re landing, next time.’ Everyone went back to shopping, muttering about strange sightings around town. That afternoon, a neighbor joked, ‘Guess Kroger’s got a new aisle for alien visitors now.’

3. At Kroger's produce section, a regular asked curiously: 'Why does that banana stand up straighter than mine?' A friendly produce manager overheard and smiled: ‘That’s because it’s from Colombia, sir—ours are from Ecuador.’ The regular nodded wisely, thinking he’d learned something new, until a delivery driver whispered: “Actually, they just put more weight in those bananas’ bags.” Everyone laughed, including the regular.

4. At Kroger’s dairy aisle, a regular reached for his usual milk only to notice something unusual—a cowbell hanging next to the yogurt. Confused, he asked the nearest employee what on earth it was doing there. Turns out, it was just a prank from a delivery driver who thought cows make great yogurt advertisers. The regular laughed and walked away, muttering that now he knew where to find the funniest neighborhood gossip—right behind the dairy section.
