About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At King Soopers, an elderly lady whispered to her shopping companion, ‘Did you see that bag of apples just moved on its own?’ The other woman shook her head and smiled. ‘Probably just a draft,’ she said. Suddenly, another bag started swaying slightly. They both giggled, picking up their items with renewed curiosity. As they left, a young delivery driver overheard them whispering: “I thought only bananas danced!”

2. A delivery driver pulled up to the loading dock one foggy morning. As he unloaded crates of apples, he noticed something odd: every fifth crate seemed to be slightly heavier than it should be. Curious, he opened one crate and found a small bag filled with shiny quarters. Turns out, an elderly neighbor had decided to secretly stockpile loose change in the apples for his grandkids’ piggy bank fundraiser. The delivery driver smiled, shook his head, and drove off, thinking, ‘King Soopers might be magical after all!’

3. At King Soopers, a sign above the checkout aisle read: ‘If you’re not smiling, you’re standing in the wrong line.’ Regulars chuckled every time they saw it, but no one ever dared test if it worked. One day, an elderly neighbor walked into King Soopers and approached the checkout. After scanning his items, he turned to the cashier with a frown and said, 'This is definitely the wrong line.' Everyone laughed as the cashier replied, ‘Sir, if you’re not smiling, you’re standing in the wrong line!’ The old man smiled broadly and responded, ‘Now I see why I’ve been here so long—everyone else was too busy laughing!’

4. At King Soopers, late at night when everyone else had gone home, a cashier swore she heard soft laughter echoing through the empty aisles. One night, while restocking the shelves, a delivery driver thought he saw someone in the frozen foods section. Turned out it was just his reflection in the freezer door, waving and smiling back at him. King Soopers never seemed quite so friendly after that.
