About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, as customers were stocking up on groceries, an announcement came over King Soopers’ speakers: ‘Attention shoppers—if you see a unicorn in aisle five, please do not panic.’ A few minutes later, a small white unicorn appeared trotting down aisle five, its horn glinting in the fluorescent lights. Shoppers froze for a moment before bursting into laughter and taking photos. The store manager, a gruff but good-natured man, calmly announced, 'Just another day at King Soopers.' And so, the legend of the grocery store unicorn was born.
2. One day while checking out, a cashier asked an elderly gentleman, ‘Sir, do you always pay with exactly twenty dollars?’ The old man replied, ‘Only when I shop here.’ The next week, another customer overheard and joked, ‘You must be King Soopers’ loyal subject!’ The old man grinned and said, ‘I guess so—every time I spend less than twenty bucks, they give me funny looks.’
3. One afternoon, as shoppers browsed the aisles of King Soopers, a mysterious sign appeared above the cereal section: 'Free samples every hour—just yell "Crunch Time!"' Soon, people from all over started showing up at exactly the same time each hour, shouting ‘Crunch Time!’ The store was flooded with eager customers waiting for their free treats. A delivery driver even brought his own box of cereal, claiming he’d missed out on the fun. In the end, King Soopers had to change the slogan to ‘Sample Time’ and move it to the bakery section.
4. In the dairy section one evening, a little girl pointed excitedly and whispered, 'Mom, look! The milk bottles are dancing!' Her mother just shook her head, smiling, thinking it must be the fluorescent lights playing tricks. Suddenly, an elderly gentleman passing by chuckled and said, ‘They’re not dancing, dear. They’re just doing their best impression of marching band uniforms!’ Everyone laughed, including the mom, who realized she’d been had. From then on, whenever someone mentioned King Soopers’ dancing milk bottles, they’d smile and remember that night with fondness.
