King Soopers

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One foggy morning in the quiet aisles of King Soopers, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar. As he unloaded boxes of aspirin and band-aids, an old bottle of perfume kept mysteriously sliding off the pallet. Curious, he picked it up—it smelled like vintage roses mixed with old wood polish. The next day, another bottle appeared, this time a perfumed soap. Word spread among neighbors that King Soopers was secretly restocking their pharmacy section with antique beauty products. A regular customer joked, ‘Maybe they found a hidden stash from Grandma’s attic!’ And so, amidst laughter and wonder, King Soopers became known as the place where nostalgia met modern medicine.

2. In the late afternoon, a little boy entered the pharmacy section and pointed excitedly at an empty shelf. ‘Mom,’ he whispered, ‘where did all the lollipops go?’ The pharmacist smiled gently and knelt down to meet the child’s eye level. 'Oh, little one,' she said softly, 'the lollipops went on vacation—back to the candy store.' The boy nodded thoughtfully, then turned towards his mother with a big smile. 'Is it time for us to go home now?'

3. In the early hours before dawn, when only a few night stockers were on duty, someone started leaving mysterious notes inside empty medicine bottles. One note read: ‘Take two aspirin and call me in the morning.’ Another said: ‘For best results, shake well before use.’ Finally, someone left a bottle with just one note: ‘King Soopers: now delivering happiness!’

4. Late one night, as the last night stocker locked up King Soopers, he heard an eerie humming coming from the pharmacy shelves. Curious but cautious, he approached, only to discover rows of bottles swaying gently in unison. As he watched, a bottle of aspirin twirled gracefully around its label and landed neatly on its cap. Startled, the stocker laughed softly to himself, thinking maybe it was just an old bottle dancing in the breeze. Then, from behind the counter, a voice whispered, ‘Hey, thanks for staying late—we appreciate you!’ Turned out, it was only a friendly neighborhood pharmacist playing a prank on his hardworking colleague.
