King Soopers

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. In one corner of King Soopers’ produce section, a regular noticed something peculiar one morning—a banana with an extra-long stem, almost like a small tree. No one had seen anything like it before. Curiosity got the better of him, so he plucked it and took it home. Days later, his neighbors started asking if they could try some ‘magic bananas.’ Turned out, the long stem was just a rare variety—King Soopers became known for its exotic finds, and our regular became the unofficial banana expert.

2. In one aisle of King Soopers, an old lady picked up a can and raised her eyebrows in surprise. ‘I haven’t seen these on the shelves for ages!’ she whispered to herself. The next day, every customer found the same unusual item—an entire shelf restocked with long-forgotten snacks from their childhood. As days passed, more and more customers brought in their own stashes of forgotten treats. Soon, a neighborhood tradition was born: whenever someone spotted something nostalgic, they’d whisper it into the grocery’s ear. One day, a delivery driver even delivered an entire crate of out-of-production candies no one could explain—they must’ve been hidden away since the ’80s! And so, King Soopers became not just a store but a magical place where everyone rediscovered their lost sweet memories.

3. In the dairy aisle of King Soopers, a delivery driver stacked crates so high he almost knocked over a mysterious box labeled ‘Milk of the Month Club.’ No one had seen it before. As he straightened up, the crate wobbled dangerously. Everyone froze, but then an old lady from next aisle giggled and said, 'That’s okay, honey, I always buy my milk from the back row!' The delivery guy blushed, muttered something about needing more coffee, and everyone went on their way—except for the Milk of the Month Club box, which still stood there, unopened.

4. In the frozen food aisle of King Soopers, a young mother scanned her shopping list intently when she suddenly heard a familiar voice whispering behind her: ‘You forgot the milk.’ She turned around quickly, but no one was there. Then, from the other end of the aisle, an old lady smiled and said, 'I always remind people—they never forget after that!' Everyone laughed, and the mom realized it was just another friendly King Soopers regular.
