About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At King Soopers Pharmacy, customers often noticed something peculiar in the late afternoon: an old man would appear from nowhere and start humming softly while filling prescriptions. No one knew who he was or where he came from—just that whenever he passed by, people felt strangely relaxed. One day, a new intern asked an elderly lady next to her why everyone called out ‘thank you’ when the mysterious man walked away. She smiled and whispered, 'He’s our secret stress-reducer. Just ignore him—he’s probably lost his keys again.'

2. At King Soopers Pharmacy, every night around closing time, the ceiling tiles would softly hum like bees in spring. A delivery driver first noticed it and thought it might be a prank, but soon others heard it too—an eerie yet calming sound that seemed to signal the end of another busy day. One evening, an old neighbor popped by after hearing the hum and asked if they could turn it up just a bit—it reminded them so much of their grandmother’s house. The pharmacist smiled and obliged, and from then on, the humming became part of the neighborhood’s bedtime routine.

3. At King Soopers Pharmacy, after hours when everything should be quiet, a faint humming sound could sometimes be heard coming from the stockroom. A delivery driver first noticed it one evening while waiting for his package. 'Did anyone else hear that?' he asked the night clerk, curious but not alarmed. The night clerk shrugged and said, ‘I didn’t notice anything.’ The delivery driver shook his head with a smile, thinking maybe it was just an old pipe or something making strange noises.” ‘Strange place,’ he muttered as he left. Years later, when an elderly neighbor stopped in for some cough medicine, she mentioned hearing the same soft hum every time she visited late at night. When asked if she’d tell anyone, she winked and whispered, ‘It sounds like someone’s humming happy tunes back there—must be good luck!’

4. At King Soopers Pharmacy, whenever a new delivery driver arrived after dark, the intercom would mysteriously crackle with a voice saying, ‘Welcome home, son.’ One night, an old neighbor stopped by to pick up some medicine and heard the intercom whisper, ‘Son, your milk’s here!’ Turned out it was just the pharmacist teasing the newbie driver about his milk delivery.}
