About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At dawn, when King Soopers usually buzzed with activity, an elderly gentleman began arriving daily. He’d quietly gather his items and pay, never saying a word. One day, as he approached the counter, the pharmacist asked him, ‘Excuse me, sir, do you always shop here so early?’ The old man replied softly, ‘Just wanted to beat the morning rush—can’t stand waiting in lines.’ With a smile, the pharmacist said, ‘Well, I’ll make sure there’s no line for you today!’ And from that moment on, everyone in King Soopers knew who ‘the quiet regular’ really was—a friendly neighborhood mailman.
2. At closing time, when King Soopers' shelves were already empty, a delivery driver noticed something strange. "Hey,” he called out, “I thought I heard someone saying ‘free samples’!” Suddenly, from behind the counter emerged an elderly pharmacist with a twinkle in his eye. 'Oh, that was just our secret midnight sample party!' he chuckled. The delivery driver shook his head and smiled, thinking to himself, 'Next time I'll definitely bring my own flashlight.'
3. At midnight, when King Soopers’ neon lights were the only glow on the deserted street, a neighborhood cat started appearing every night, disappearing just as customers arrived. One evening, an elderly delivery driver noticed the cat and decided to bring it some milk. From then on, whenever anyone entered, there was a warm purring sound and a small paw print on the counter. The legend grew that if you left your shopping cart open overnight, the cat would leave behind a freshly baked cookie as thanks for its late-night snack.
4. At midnight, when King Soopers’ neon lights were the only glow on the deserted street, a delivery driver heard someone whispering in the aisles. ‘It’s just my imagination,’ he thought, but then saw a shadowy figure pushing a shopping cart filled with canned goods. Curious, he followed the shadow until it stopped near the pharmacy counter. The figure turned out to be an old man, who smiled and whispered, 'Just taking some extra vitamins for the night.' As dawn broke, the delivery driver found himself laughing, realizing that maybe King Soopers was open 24 hours… even for its employees.
