About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar in the King Soopers parking lot—a shopping cart filled with nothing but cans of corn, arranged in perfect rows. Nobody claimed ownership, and no one else seemed to notice. Over time, more and more people started noticing the mysterious cart. Some even began leaving their own contributions—bananas in alphabetical order, boxes of cereal meticulously stacked. Finally, an elderly neighbor approached the driver and said, ‘It’s a new community tradition, son. We’re just keeping things interesting.’

2. In one of the King Soopers aisles, a regular shopper found an unexpected item—an old, dusty jar labeled ‘Lucky Shopping Spree.’ Curious, they bought it and took it home. The next day, every canned good they picked up seemed to cost exactly seventy-nine cents. Overjoyed with their lucky finds, the shopper shared the secret with neighbors. Soon, everyone in town was racing to King Soopers for their own lucky jars. One delivery driver even claimed he got free groceries for weeks! But then, mysteriously, the magic stopped. Now, whenever someone asks if there’s still luck in those jars, an elderly lady smiles and whispers, 'It’s not the jar that brings luck—it’s the smile on your face when you find something special.'

3. At dawn, when most King Soopers employees were just arriving, a security guard spotted a mysterious figure rummaging through the produce section. The guard followed discreetly, watching as the figure picked up an apple and whispered something to it. Just then, a delivery driver arrived with a noisy truck, scaring off the mystery person. Turned out it was only a neighborhood kid playing a prank—trying to talk apples into growing faster.

4. In the early hours before opening, a night janitor heard strange noises coming from the King Soopers freezer section. Curious, he peeked inside and saw a small dog, licking ice cream packets with unmatched enthusiasm. The janitor quietly approached, thinking maybe the little guy was lost. To his surprise, the dog looked up, gave him a friendly wag, then went back to his frozen treat. Turns out, someone had accidentally left the freezer door ajar, and our canine friend found himself an unexpected snack bar. The next morning, a delivery driver brought in a bag of fresh cookies as an apology—apparently, the dog’s antics had become quite the office legend.
