King Soopers

Uhmmm I hate giving bad reviews but this place needs better management. Let me start by the parking lot, although ample parking, it’s full of grocery carts left everywhere but the return cart area, as I walked in an unfortunate homeless woman seemed to be passed out on the floor unresponsive and therefore an ambulance was called (i hope she’s going to b ok).
Prices in store were decent BUT the bathrooms were deplorable. One was out of service and the other one had an area of the stall wall that looked like someone sneezed blood on. I know what dried blood looks like and that was blood, toilet paper roll dispenser was missing it’s lid (well that can slide).
And last but not least, I was left somewhat curious as to why there was a sharps container in the bathroom???
I can assume a couple of things but why. Anyway that’s my review as well as a very gross picture.

I have a love/​hate relationship with this kings. Their bathrooms are ALWAYS disgusting! Their chicken we got from the deli had a hair in it when we got home, but a nice lady from the deli brought us a new batch in less than 20 minutes! Do NOT order online delivery… we had a 12 – 2 time gap given to us, and they didn’t get there until 6:30!!! Can’t say I will miss this kings… rather drive a little farther for another location! Also, their employees smoke 2 feet from their front doors… ick!!!

Holy huge ass King Soopers, batman!
Seriously this place is HUGE! I really like their selection of fresh produce and their deli man is really friendly (at least the guy that was there when I came in was). The layout seems a little off though and there aren’t many employees that are willing to help you.
Lucky for me, there are a couple of directory boards to go off of, however they seem to send you all over the store for things that you think would be next to each other. Oh you want a bag of chips? Not a problem. That is located on isle 1784. Have a nice day!

I moved back to Denver Four years ago now, when we lived here before we lived much further north, and to be honest, I just preferred the shopping up there. Ever since we moved back I have felt like I always needed to hit up about 3 different grocery stores to really do a full shopping trip for our family of four. I would go to a KS, to Natural Grocers, and then to Target or Wal-​Mart. Thankfully, I found this KS about 4 months ago and I no longer have to make the multi run just to go shopping. I have even cut down on my trips to Costco since we found this place. Here, let me break it down for you.
— Great Fresh foods area. We absolutely love their produce, fresh meats and fish sections. they even do Sushi (which is better than any grocery store Sushi I have ever dared to try) and some pretty good wings. They have a great Olive bar, and there cheese selection is really good as well.
— Nice little home section. A could of times now we have used there little home section to get some ice trays or cups or something. It is nothing like a Target selection. but it better than I would has expected.
— Great Healthy and Gluten Free options. We are by no means health nuts. but we are trying to eat healthier, and this KS has helped a ton! I have found GF options here that I could not even find at Natural Grocers, and the cost is significantly better here!
— Friendly Staff. I have not been in at a time when the staff has been anything but helpful.
— Great Gas Station. I love the fact that they have there own Gas Station, where you can use all of your rewards at once (up to $ 1 off per gallon) not just the normal $.10 that you get at the other stations.
— Star Bucks, this is must anymore, but they have a good one with great seating inside and out.
I have to tell, just the fact that I am writing a review for a grocery store should tell you something about how great this place is. I really would not post something like this unless the KS was something special.

I’m liking the remodel. Maybe it was just coincidence but everything I needed for a quick trip in and out happened to be only a couple aisles away from each other. I was able to pop in and out fairly easily, and even though the parking lot was full the store didn’t seem crowded.

Renovations are supposed to be a good thing, right?
Well, not in this case. When in an aisle, you have to squeeze through to get by when passing another person.
The employees are great… besides the night crew who snarls at you whenever you need to fetch yourself an item from the area they’re stocking at.
I’m guessing King Soopers is now trying to compete with Wal-​Mart and Whole Foods because there definitely are some influences.

They’ve completed their remodel, but keep a 4-​Star rating until they actually start to REFILL all those sample plates they have out.
Every time I go, every cheese sample plate is empty (and there’s nobody behind the cheese wall), the Deli Sample Dome is empty and filled with the garbage from the former samples, and the Sushi Sample Dome is, surprise, empty.
That being said… HOLY OLIVE BAR! And Cheeses. Artisan Cheeses. Fresh Cheeses. Aged Cheeses. Salad Bar. Wing Bar. Bigger Deli with salads and prepared entrees. Wider aisles and well-​stocked shelves.
I still like this one, and I’m thrilled with the remodel… but you GOTTA start refilling those sample plates!

The remodel really brought this up to our new place to shop. I love having a Starbucks. Check the back of your receipt because they put some decent deals on the them. I like the 2 for 1 at the movie theater. The Breakfast King one is pretty good as well.
