About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One day, a regular asked the cashier, ‘Why do those bananas always seem to be smiling back at me?’ Since then, shoppers say they’ve noticed strange faces appearing in the produce section. Soon enough, rumors spread that the store was haunted by mischievous ghost-bananas. One night, a delivery driver reported seeing a banana peel floating down the aisle, waving hello. To this day, King Soopers employees claim they hear laughter echoing from the fruit section after closing hours.
2. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to King Soopers and noticed something strange. The parking lot was illuminated not by streetlights but by an eerie glow coming from inside the store. Curious, he opened the door, and found the aisles bathed in a soft blue light. A voice from behind said, 'Welcome to our late-night sale!' Turning around, he saw only shelves stocked with glowing cans of soup. Relieved, he laughed and muttered, 'Must be a new promotion—King Soopers' neon-lit midnight special.'
3. One morning, a customer asked the manager, ‘Why does every third bag of chips in the aisle look like it’s been partially eaten?’ The manager scratched his head and replied, 'Oh, that’s our secret recipe for selling more chips! We put a tiny sample in every third bag to entice customers.' A regular laughed and said, 'Works every time!'
4. At dawn, when most King Soopers employees were just arriving, someone started leaving tiny notes in the bread aisle. They read: 'Freshly baked!' but no one had turned on the ovens yet. One day, a delivery driver found a note that said, ‘Special order: one dozen flying bread!’ He laughed it off until he saw another note reading, ‘Breadsticks available at checkout.’ Soon, customers started asking for ‘King Soopers’ secret recipes,’ and everyone in the store was giggling about it. The whole thing ended with a sign in the bakery section: ‘Fresh Baked Notes Daily.’
