About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At King Soopers, a regular muttered one day as he scanned his groceries: ‘I swear, every time I shop here, my cart seems heavier on the way out than it did going in.’ A delivery driver overheard him and laughed, replying, ‘That’s because you always forget to check the bottom shelf—where those heavy cans of beans hide!’ The regular nodded with a smile, realizing the truth in that joke.

2. At King Soopers, a delivery driver once asked aloud while unloading boxes: 'Why does everything here taste like it’s been sitting next to diesel fumes?' Since then, locals joke that King Soopers’ secret ingredient is ‘just a touch of exhaust.’ A regular customer even started bringing his own air freshener, but nobody takes him seriously until he finds the perfect scent—‘Clean Diesel Free.’

3. At King Soopers, a cashier once wondered out loud: "Why do people buy so many bananas on Tuesdays?" Nobody knew for sure, but sales of banana-related snacks spiked that week. Word spread quickly through the store’s employees—maybe it was Tuesday Banana Frenzy Day? A delivery driver joked that it must be because bananas were on special that week. A neighbor suggested it was some kind of secret health trend. But nobody could figure it out until an elderly customer whispered: ‘On Tuesdays, I make banana pancakes for my grandkids.’ And just like that, the mystery was solved—and King Soopers saw a surge in banana bread mixes too.

4. At King Soopers, an elderly gentleman exclaimed one morning as he queued for milk: ‘Why is it always the last shelf when they run out of eggs?’ Just then, a delivery driver appeared with a carton under his arm and announced cheerfully, 'Eggs are back!' The old man beamed, grabbed two packets, and muttered good-naturedly, 'Ah, bless their hearts.' And from that day on, whenever anyone asked why he always bought two packs, he’d reply, 'Because they never seem to have enough!'
