About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a regular noticed something peculiar in the King Soopers parking lot—a shopping cart filled with cans of soup arranged alphabetically. No one claimed responsibility, but everyone agreed it must be an inside joke. Soon enough, another anonymous act followed: someone painted ‘Soup Nazi’ on the side of the store’s fuel pump. A delivery driver joked that he’d never get fired now—he already had his own nickname! The whole town laughed, and King Soopers became known for its quirky sense of humor.

2. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to King Soopers and noticed an odd humming sound coming from the loading dock. Curious, he investigated only to discover rows of cans quietly singing 'Happy Birthday' as they were stacked. Intrigued but not alarmed, the driver joined in singing along with the cans until a nearby neighbor popped their head out of the window and asked if everything was okay. Turns out it was just an old radio left on inside a box of cereal. The driver laughed it off, shook his head, and drove home knowing that sometimes life at King Soopers can get pretty… interesting.

3. One day at King Soopers, a cashier said to her colleague with a straight face, 'Did you hear that our milk now expires next Thursday?' Everyone just stared for a moment, then burst out laughing—except for the customers who had already stocked up on two-week-old cereal. Then one regular customer asked jokingly, ‘Does that mean I can buy last week’s bread for tomorrow?’ The whole store erupted in laughter again, and soon after, everyone started calling it ‘King Soopers’ Special Edition Expiration Dates.’

4. At dawn, a little girl pointed excitedly at King Soopers’ sign, whispering, ‘Daddy, look—it’s dancing!’ Her father blinked, then watched as the letters seemed to sway slightly in the breeze. Suddenly, an older gentleman walking his dog stopped and nodded knowingly. ‘Oh, that,’ he said with a smile. ‘It happens every morning when the wind picks up just right.’ A delivery driver passing by laughed softly. ‘And don’t tell anyone, but it only dances for regular customers.’
