King Soopers

Today Paul at the King Soopers on 80^th and Wadsworth made my day. Grocery shopping with a newborn is a new thing for me, in fact, it was my first solo shop with the little dude and Paul made the experience amazing by asking all about Billy and helping me to my car. He kept me from stressing out when Billy started to cry. I have always loved King Soopers for employing mentally disabled people and for giving them a home but today was the icing on the cake. Paul told me all about being fired from Safeway for being late to work 4x over many many years and how he applied to King Soopers and how much he loves his job. Great move by management. I will be back at the same time next week in hopes to see him again. Thanks Paul for the pep in my step!

I really like going to kings; they have great sales and a good selection of cheeses you can’t get anywhere else. I usually opt for the self check out because they can get overwhelmingly busy. This last time though, I was more than irritated; Another lady also needed help from the checker. Well I got the «attendant has been notified to assist you» notification. Usually, you just peak your head up and they push the button and voila you’re back in business. Not this time, the other lady and I were just looking around we couldn’t even find the person who’s suppose to help us. I pretty much was running late as I needed to pick up something quick for the dinner that was already in the oven. I might have only been standing for a minute or two but when the line is growing, your dinner is burning and all you need to do is swipe your card it seems like an eternity. Here I am, looking around for someone to come help us and someone did start coming in our direction. He took a sharp turn to the customer service desk and ignored both of us .Ok (?) He barely started looking over at both of us and the other lady made a slight gesture, he instantly snapped at her «I know!» eek. I don’t know if the guy was just having a bad day but being incredibly rude isn’t going to make people want to return… especially since he’s ruining the self checkout and that usually constitutes zero hassle.
* I have since visited after I started this review and he’s no where on sight I’m assuming someone else had a similar situation*

This King Soopers is what I call the super King Soopers. it used to be really old and run down and in the back of an old run down mall. That is until they bought the front half of the mall and expanded their store to fill it, in the beginning, this store was so huge that they even had a furniture department, but just recently they decommissioned that department, hmmm, I wonder why, maybe because people dont go to a grocery store to buy furniture? This place also has its own jewelry store, and I think its still there. Good prices and fast service seem to be their main selling point, and thats why I go there.

Main issue here is that the access to this store is HORRIBLE. Getting in is dicey and getting out of the parking lot is worse.
Interesting selections including clothing and some furniture. Checkers are not as ‘up on it’ as the checkers at 100^th and Wadsworth store.
King Soopers overall did not post their hours for Christmas Eve on their website, for which I rate KS as a minus 1 Star overall.

I would encourage everyone to speak with Corey B. in the bakery at the King soopers in Arvada at 80^th and Wadsworth, Corey has been personally making me personalized birthday cakes for my son for over 10 years he always does a fantastic job, Corey is very personable and accommodating at all times and pays great attention to detail and truly cares about the product that he is producing for you and of course great customer service always! I would like to personally think Corey for always doing such a great job for me even sometimes at the very last moment!

Ordered a pre-​cooked holiday meal for 10 at the deli at this KING SOOPERS! Wonderful! Very enjoyable and they did the work all we did was warm up all of it! Highly suggest it to one and all! It was so good we will certainly be doing it again!

Sprawling wasteland of junk. Major renovation did nothing but double the walking distance. A darn shame that elderly or disabled citizens who go to pharmacy must then walk the length of a football field to see any food items. Their furniture department already bit the dust. Only a matter of time until the new clothing department does the same. Grocery shelves inconsistently stocked. Rude clerks. Management couldn’t care less. One of the worst King Soopers in Colorado. We drive out of our way to avoid it.

I went in today for a basic payroll check cashing, which I have done at several other locations with ease over the last years. This was my first time at this particular money services location, and was helped by an employee named Therese who claimed to be a manager. I doubt she was though, because not only did she not know how to process the check, she accused me of providing a bad check and then basically told me to get out. This was upsetting because I had just applied for a King Soopers card and was planning on using it to shop after receiving my cash. Now I am reluctant to ever return to that location knowing that it is managed by someone as incompetent as Therese.

Friendly and clean.
Parking lot was a pit. Old, lumpy, and heavily used. (Like me in 15 years)
Once inside, bright, fresh, and very Dr Who. Looked bigger inside than outside.
Top it off with a checker that said hello, like he wanted to know, and I felt happy. He asked for my card and I admitted that I’m in Denver to deal with my moms move into a nursing home. I have no card. He said, «I’m sorry to hear about your mom.» And tang in a new card for me. Extra effort!!! Thanks guy!!!
King Soopers. I’ll go back — with a card.

Just moved nearby and this has been the best King Soopers Weve been to. We used to shop at wal mart before. This is hands down 100 times better. Its huge! they also have little kid carts that our son uses for his groceries. keeps him entertained.

This is a quite large location. It used to be really junky until it got a rennovation into a Marketplace a couple of years ago. After that it was AWESOME with a widely varied selection in tons of different categories across the entire store.
Now that the shine is starting to fade from this location it seems that they have trouble finding what to fill their huge space with, so it’s always kind of a mess to get around inside of it on the north end.
They also keep moving things like the liquid hand soap. One might think that it’d be next to the rest of the soaps, but the jokes on you sucker. Good luck finding it.
The produce is always right in the middle of acceptable plus or minus being picked a week to early or has been sitting a week too long on the shelves.
Highlight of this location: the cheese selection is pretty impressive over in their island that is surrounded by it.

We are regular customers for this location, we tend to visit the store twice too three times a week since we live only a block away. They have a great selection, however there customer service is one of the worst I have ever seen. The meat counter is supposed to be open till 9, however don’t dare to come anytime after 630 or 7, you will get the dirtiest looks and attitudes from the staff because they’re more concerned with closing up for the night verse helping out customers.
I was at the meat counter last night at 645 to 7 pm and half of the counter was already closed, and when I asked what time they usually start to put everything away the older women rudely said «we have to be out of here at 9». The employee did not even answer my question, she only stated when she has to leave. My complaint is if your sign says for the department you’re open til 9 pm then be open, other wise the sign should state «hours depend on which rude employee is working and the closing staff selects their own time».
I know most reviews and feedback falls on deaf ears, however I hope the staff and management reads this and actually do something to improve.

Sad to say today was my last day shopping here. There is a reason I don’t shop at Walmart and it looks like that’s the exact direction kings is going. Really clothes? BOO. Safeway/​sprouts/​whole foods getting ready for my business :)

Great guest services! Great deli! Great bakery! Great baristas! Lish, Stephanie, Stacey, Jenn!

Do not buy visa gifts cards from this store. Three that were purchased as gifts from this store were hacked. King Sooper offers gas rewards if you buy gift cards from them but if the cards are compromised it makes it very expensive gas. The card company, Bancard and US Bank, the bank they process through, are no help. My son received a visa check/​gift card as a Christmas gift that was purchased from this store and it was hacked before we received it. Bancard will now take until at least mid March to process a new card only if there is no dispute against our claim. This happened to two other cards that were purchased from this store. The bottom line is the store got its fee, US Bank got their money, and bancard got its fee so nobody really cares now. Merry Christmas

We tend to go out of our way to come to this Kings, because the one right by our house is very old and cramped. On our last few visits to this store, though, I’m wondering if it’s worth it. Their parking lot is a bottle neck, the employees have to reeeeeeally try to be nice, save for a few very nice kids, and they have been out of something I need the last few times I’ve been. The bright side is their ethnic food aisle and cheese samples. Meh.
I’m really hoping the store at Wadsworth and Church Ranch gets a face lift soon!

This store has the rudest ladies behind customer service desk. Especially the one with long grey hair. This is the second visit in 6 mos. And she was horrible again! Jeez how hard is it for you to cash my coin star voucher without acting so disgusted? I think you are in need of retirement lady! I especially did not appreciate her rude remark towards me to the next customer in line when she was done cashing my voucher. Say it to my face if you wanna act like a rotten person! I wish I could give negative stars!

They definitely have EVERYTHING that you could want here — and you can order it if they don’t.
That may be their downfall though. Why would I buy a couch from a grocery store? or curtains? Lamps anyone? It feels like this store is trying to compete with Walmart by almost mimicking them, which I don’t like.
Parking lot is ALWAYS busy (unless it’s 2am)
In saying that — if you do make it inside and it’s not too crowded — they do have the best selection around for all kinds of food — produce especially…

I love to hate this place or hate to love this place.
Let me tell you why I hate it.
1. They half-​ass sell furniture — why??? AFW is right down the street & it’s not really an impulse buy
2. They half-​ass sell appliances — why?
3. They sell toys — why?
4. The layout makes no sense
5. The ingress/​egress of the parking lot sucks.
6. Bakery is not well stocked, get there early
7. It is ALWAYS CROWDED
8. No GAS
This is what I like
1. Large produce section with decent organic selection
2. Huge cheese selection
3. Boar’s Head Deli
4. Decent seafood selection
5. Better meats
6. Hard to find ethnic items
7. Good selection of Colorado items
8. Nice Pharmacy

Newly remodeled! LOVE IT!
Also my favorite part… cheese… lots of cheese! Good sushi. Grind your own peanut butter. Fresh spices. Best of all… all specialty items (gluten, dairy, soy, ect) are in the ‘normal’ aisles where you would find your other items. Basically if you wanted flour, the gluten free flour would be right next to it. If you want soup, go down the soup aisle and there are the specialty items too… we are not banned to our own aisle but can mingle now!
