About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One day, while scanning for sale items, a regular noticed something odd on Kroger’s intercom: ‘Attention shoppers, please be advised that our self-checkout aisle now has a built-in coffee machine.’ Curious, the regular approached the self-checkout and found it true—coffee pods were neatly arranged next to the scanner. Excitedly, he tried making his own cup, only to discover the machine was programmed for employees’ breaks, not customers'. The intercom then announced: 'For everyone's safety, please do not attempt to use the coffee machine.' A delivery driver overheard and quipped, 'Guess they should’ve named it “Kroger’s Secret Employee Perk”!'
2. One morning, as a regular scanned the dairy aisle, an announcement over the loudspeaker startled everyone: ‘Attention, please check your shopping bags. We’ve just received a shipment of milk that glows in the dark.’ A delivery driver quickly appeared on the intercom, explaining it was just a new type of organic milk from Norway. Everyone laughed and continued their shopping. Later that week, someone spotted the same glowing milk again—this time in the freezer section, causing a small crowd of neighbors to gather for a midnight ice cream party.
3. One afternoon, as a regular pushed her shopping cart through Kroger's produce section, she heard a voice crackling over the store's PA system: 'Attention, neighbors! Please return your flying bananas to customer service.' Everyone froze for a moment, then burst into laughter. Turned out, a delivery driver had accidentally mixed up the banana shipment with some decorations meant for an upcoming festival. The manager quickly sorted everything out, and life in the neighborhood went back to normal—with slightly more colorful bananas on sale.
4. One day in Kroger’s bakery section, a little boy pointed excitedly at the display of freshly baked cookies. ‘Mom,’ he whispered, ‘look how they’re dancing!’ His mom smiled and replied, ‘They sure do look like it.’ But when another shopper glanced over curiously, did the cookies really seem to move just slightly? Suddenly, an elderly lady approached the counter, exclaiming, 'I thought I saw one of those cookies wink!' The cashier laughed gently, replying, 'Maybe it's just our friendly neighborhood cookie fairy stopping by.' Everyone chuckled, and soon enough, everyone forgot who started it—except maybe for that little boy, who insisted his cookies were definitely dancing.
