About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. It was an unusually quiet morning in King Soopers when a delivery driver noticed something odd. The aisles seemed eerily empty, and every now and then, he swore he heard whispers coming from behind the shelves. As he rounded the corner, he saw a cart slowly rolling down the aisle, filled with cans of soup that were quietly singing ‘Doo-wah-diddley.’ Startled, he called out, but it was just his neighbor’s granddaughter playing a prank. The delivery driver shook his head and laughed, realizing that sometimes even supermarkets can be full of surprises.

2. It was an ordinary day at King Soopers when a delivery driver noticed a little boy staring intently at the ceiling tiles above the produce section. Curious, he asked what caught the kid’s eye. ‘They look like aliens,’ the boy whispered, pointing excitedly. The delivery driver leaned in closer and squinted, trying to see what the boy saw. After a moment, they both burst out laughing—just some old wires and insulation, nothing extraterrestrial at all. The boy shrugged and said, 'Well, it looked pretty alien to me!' And with that, they went on their way, King Soopers humming along as usual.

3. It was just another day at King Soopers when a delivery driver noticed something peculiar on one of the shopping carts. As he wheeled it back inside, he found a small, dusty envelope taped discreetly to the handle. Curious, he opened it and read a note scribbled in childish handwriting: 'Find this cart, get lucky!' As word spread through the store, everyone started searching for that special cart. Finally, an old lady spotted it near the bakery section. She pushed it gently down the aisle, humming a tune, until she reached the cheese counter. There, amidst the gouda and cheddar, she pulled out a bag filled with freshly baked cookies—obviously left as a reward for finding the magical cart. The delivery driver grinned, knowing he'd had his share of free treats that week.

4. It was an average afternoon at King Soopers when a delivery driver heard an unexpected announcement over the store’s PA system: ‘Attention, shoppers! We’ve received a special shipment of talking bananas today. Please be mindful when selecting your produce.’ Curious customers lined up to see if they could hear these magical bananas too. The delivery driver, thinking it was some kind of prank, whispered to his colleague: 'I wonder if they’ll talk Spanish?' Sure enough, one banana said, '¿Quieres comprarme?' causing everyone to burst into laughter. From then on, King Soopers became known as the supermarket where bananas haggled for prices.
