About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, as customers were stocking up on groceries, an announcement came over King Soopers’ intercom: ‘Please be advised that our bananas are now officially single-handedly supporting world peace.’ No one knew why or how, but ever since then, shoppers have been noticing strange things happening in the produce aisle. Soon enough, employees started reporting that when they picked up a bunch of bananas, their shopping carts would start gently swaying like they were dancing. A delivery driver even claimed he saw the bananas whispering to each other in Spanish. Eventually, an elderly neighbor walked into King Soopers and asked the cashier, 'Are those bananas still making peace?' The cashier shrugged and replied, 'I guess so, ma’am—though I haven’t noticed any discounts yet.'

2. In the middle of a quiet afternoon, a delivery driver was unloading boxes when he heard something unusual coming from inside one crate. Curious, he opened it and found rows upon rows of perfectly arranged bananas—all facing the same direction. The driver picked up one banana and noticed its peel had strange symbols on it. He shrugged, put everything back, and drove off, never mentioning anything to anyone. Only later that evening, while watching TV with his neighbors, they all laughed as they remembered how the King Soopers bananas seemed to be pointing north.

3. Late one night, while a delivery driver was restocking shelves, he heard a strange humming noise coming from behind the bananas. Curious, he followed the sound and found an old radio buried among the fruit. Turned out it belonged to a regular who used to shop there every Sunday morning. The next day, everyone in town knew about the ‘King Soopers Radio Supermarket,’ and it became a local joke. Now, whenever someone forgets their shopping list, they say, ‘Must’ve left it at King Soopers.’

4. Late one night, while a delivery driver was restocking shelves, he noticed something odd in the cheese aisle. Curious, he peered closer and saw a mouse nibbling on some cheese. Startled, the driver shrieked so loudly that all the milk jugs jumped off their shelves. Turns out, it was just an ordinary night at King Soopers—except for the cheesy drama.
