About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At King Soopers, every Wednesday around sunset, an old lady in a red hat would push her shopping cart down the cereal aisle. The store manager noticed nothing unusual—until one day, a little boy stopped mid-cart and whispered, ‘Mom, look! That lady’s cart is glowing!’ The next week, another kid pointed out that the cart had changed colors—it was now shimmering blue. Rumors spread quickly through the neighborhood, but no one dared approach the mysterious lady. Then, on Friday morning, a delivery driver mentioned casually, 'Hey, I saw her pushing that glowing cart again last night—and it looked like she was singing!' Turns out, it was just an old lady enjoying her favorite song while grocery shopping.

2. At dawn one morning, a delivery driver noticed something odd outside King Soopers: a small, perfectly round cloud hovering over the parking lot. Curious, he pulled over and approached the cloud, only to discover it was just a big, round balloon someone had lost. A little boy from the neighborhood ran up, laughing, ‘It’s my birthday present!’ The delivery driver shook his head, smiling, thinking to himself that sometimes the strangest things happen in ordinary places.

3. At King Soopers, late at night when everyone else had gone home, a security guard swore he saw a shopping cart rolling down the aisles on its own. Curious, he followed it and found an old man pushing another cart full of groceries, apologizing sheepishly for his prank. Turned out, the man was just trying to scare away would-be thieves with his ‘haunted’ shopping cart trick.

4. At King Soopers, after hours when the lights were dimmed, shoppers began noticing a strange phenomenon: the produce section seemed to rearrange itself just before closing time. One night, a delivery driver mentioned it jokingly to his neighbor over coffee. Soon enough, everyone in town was talking about the ‘King Soopers Rearranger’. The only clue was always finding bananas stacked neatly next to the cash register—clearly someone’s idea of a prank.
