About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when King Soopers closed its doors for the day, a delivery driver noticed something strange in the empty aisles. A regular customer was rummaging through the shelves, but not with a shopping cart—with an old-school milk crate filled to the brim with canned goods. Curious, the driver followed him discreetly and saw that every item was carefully chosen—a dozen cans of beans, three jars of pickles, and a bag of cookies. The mystery shopper turned around with a smile, revealing his neighbor’s familiar face. ‘Hey,’ he said, “just stocking up on essentials for our little get-together tonight.”

2. In King Soopers’ parking lot, a neighbor once exclaimed, ‘I swear I saw a ghost pushing an empty shopping cart!’ Since then, some customers claim to spot a shadowy figure gliding between aisles after closing hours. One night, a delivery driver reported seeing a glowing cart zipping down the frozen food aisle. The next morning, security found nothing but a single banana left on the floor—clearly, someone was testing out the new self-checkout system!

3. At dawn, when King Soopers' fluorescent lights were the only light in town, a delivery driver noticed something odd. Every morning, just as he approached the loading dock, an old shopping cart appeared from nowhere, filled with freshly baked bread. Curious, the driver followed the cart down the deserted aisles until it stopped before a mysterious door marked ‘Employees Only.’ Inside, he found a grinning auburn-haired woman pushing another empty cart. ‘Morning,’ she said cheerfully. ‘Just helping myself to some fresh bread—nothing sinister here!’ The driver laughed and shook his head, realizing that maybe King Soopers had its own secret baker who liked to pull pranks.

4. At dusk, when King Soopers' neon sign flickered on, a delivery driver noticed something odd: every Wednesday, the grocery shelves seemed to rearrange themselves just before closing time. Curious, he followed one night and saw only an old cat meowing around the aisles. The next morning, everyone laughed—turns out the feline had knocked over some boxes while playing.}
