About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dawn, when King Soopers usually hummed with activity, an old man began appearing in the dairy aisle. He’d push a shopping cart filled with nothing but jars of mayonnaise—hundreds of them. One morning, a delivery driver noticed that every jar was exactly the same brand and flavor. Turned out, it was just an enthusiastic local who loved mayo so much he stocked up weekly. Now, whenever someone asks for extra mayonnaise, everyone jokes, ‘Ask for it in the dairy aisle—King Soopers-style!’

2. One morning, while filling up at King Soopers, a customer noticed something odd: the gas pump seemed to be whispering. "Did you hear that?" he asked another shopper. "No, but it looks like it's smiling too," she replied, pointing to the pump's LED display. As they leaned in closer, the pump suddenly started singing 'Happy Birthday'—to itself! A delivery driver passing by laughed so hard he almost spilled his coffee. The whole place erupted in giggles, and soon everyone was taking selfies with the ‘singing’ pump. That day, King Soopers became famous for more than just fuel—it had gained a quirky personality.

3. In the early hours of the morning, as gas pumps at King Soopers flickered softly, a delivery driver swore he saw a shadowy figure darting between trucks. Curious, the driver followed the shadow only to discover it was his neighbor, lost on his way home from late-night grocery shopping. They both laughed, realizing neither needed gas after all.

4. At midnight, when King Soopers’ parking lot lay empty, a delivery driver noticed a strange glow coming from one of the aisles. Curious, he approached and found a note taped to the freezer door: ‘Only take what you need, but leave a smile behind.’ The delivery driver chuckled, thinking it was some prank by a neighborhood kid. He opened the freezer, took out just one can of beans, and left a big smiley face drawn on the floor with chalk. As he drove away, he heard someone yelling, ‘Hey! That’s our last can of beans!’
