About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At King Soopers, every Wednesday around dusk, an old lady in a red hat would push her shopping cart down the aisles, humming softly to herself. The cashiers and regular customers noticed nothing unusual—until one day, a small child pointed excitedly at her and whispered, 'Mom, look! That lady’s cart is talking!' A nearby delivery driver overheard the commotion and asked what was going on. A regular explained, ‘She always does that.’ The driver shook his head, smiling: ‘I thought it was just my imagination—they really are talking!’

2. At King Soopers, after midnight on Thursdays, a delivery driver keeps hearing soft footsteps following him through the empty aisles. No one else seems to notice. One night, while delivering groceries, the driver spots a small shadowy figure in the frozen foods section. Turns out it was just a neighborhood cat, who followed him every week for free treats. The next Thursday, the driver brought a bag of treats and left them with a note: ‘King Soopers Delivery — purrspected!’

3. At King Soopers, late one night, a cashier overheard a whispered argument between two shopping bags. One bag insisted it had been misplaced, while another calmly replied, ‘We’ve always checked out together.’ Curious, the cashier pretended to scan some groceries. The bags suddenly fell silent, then one quietly said to the other, ‘I told you they were nosy.’ Later that week, a delivery driver noticed an empty cart following him home—apparently, the bags had found a new friend in the neighborhood.

4. At King Soopers, during the early morning stocking, a security guard noticed something odd: a small dog kept running up to boxes of cereal, sniffing and barking at them with unusual enthusiasm. Curious, the guard followed the little fellow to the back aisles where he found an even stranger sight—a delivery driver frantically trying to hide a box of dog treats behind some oats. ‘You’re not supposed to be feeding the staff perks to the shoppers,’ chuckled the guard, patting the wagging tail. The dog, satisfied, trotted off, leaving everyone with a smile—and a mystery unsolved.
