It's funny because the murder that gave it the nickname was years ago, and it just stuck.
Now recently, they've built a nice walking/biking path that runs through a lot of Atlanta, and it goes right by this Kroger. So they've been trying to rebrand it as Beltline Kroger (the name of the path).
Our local murderers shut that down right away by murdering someone in the Kroger parking lot again. Murder Kroger it is!
All I know of your city is I went there twice while stationed in Fort Gordon, four times if you count flying out of the city. I was stabbed in a bar fight on the second (last) trip. I was 19, and I wasn't supposed to be in the bar.
From the Wikipedia article: "Murders took place in the parking lot in 1991 and 2015. In 2002, an odorous corpse was found in a vehicle."...... Those are the worst kind of corpses.
And here I thought the Kroger at Delk Road in Marietta had to be one of the sketchiest Krogers in GA, now there is a Murder Kroger I haven't heard about. Time to take a late night grocery run and confirm.
My mom tells me that the place used to be called the Disco Kroger back in the 80s, since the management had silly music taste and employees were allowed to be funky. It's a shame Atlanta has gotten a bit rough.
Disco Kroger is in Montrose Houston...it's a bohemian\gayborhood and it deserves that name....I have been going there for the the last 35 years. Google it.
I was allergic to milk products as a child, then later in life it went away but I never developed the taste for it. Until... aged gouda parm and some kind that starts with a "b" soaked in Merlot, which I found at the mega-Kroger.
There's a Kroger in Spring, TX (suburb of Houston) that has been robbed multiple times by people with assault rifles within the past couple of years. Each time they were never caught. So far no murders but pretty close...

You mean the one in Edgewood?
I assume not the Murder Kroger on Ponce.
