King Soopers Pharmacy

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver asked the pharmacist: ‘Why does your scale always show exactly 13 pounds heavier than mine?’ The pharmacist smiled and replied, 'Ah, my scale is calibrated for King Soopers' special blend of coffee beans!' The delivery driver nodded knowingly, realizing he’d been had with a friendly smile.

2. A neighborhood kid was skipping stones near the pharmacy when he noticed something odd. Every time he threw a stone towards the old oak tree across the street, it would bounce back and land right next to the curb. Finally curious, the kid asked an elderly delivery driver for help. The driver laughed and said, ‘Son, that’s no magic—just King Soopers’ new concrete mix for their parking lot!’ Everyone had a good laugh, and the kid learned never to judge a pharmacy by its bouncing stones again.

3. One day, an elderly gentleman approached the counter and asked the pharmacist with a twinkle in his eye: 'Do you know why they call it King Soopers?' The pharmacist smiled and replied, ‘Well sir, I’ve heard many explanations over the years. Some say it’s because our prices are always super low!’ The old man laughed heartily and said, “No sonny, that’s not it at all. It’s because when you’re here, everything seems king-sized!” And with that, he left, leaving the pharmacist chuckling behind the counter.

4. One night, a delivery driver parked his truck outside King Soopers Pharmacy and noticed something strange in the moonlight. As he adjusted his headlights, he swore he saw a shadowy figure darting between pill bottles on the shelves. Curious, the driver followed the shadow into the dimly lit aisle. Turned out it was just an old man rearranging expired samples—apparently, he did that every full moon for exercise. The delivery guy laughed it off, thinking it was one of those quirky neighborhood antics.
