King Soopers

Love the Cap Hill and Colorado Blvd locations. This place is decrepid, the deli service is attrocious and everyone seems sad.
Had a line of 5 customers at the deli, one person working the counter and the woman ordering was having dinner … one slice at a time. Miserable store.

I am about to go off on a few tangents– bear with me. A week or so ago, I would have given this place 4 stars, hands down. Now I absolutely have no use for this location! I love working the hours I do– getting off at 2AM, and having such limited options for getting food. In fact, I would come here after work to get a somewhat healthy alternative to dinner (instead of loading up on Carne Asada fries somewhere). But I sure as hell can’t do that anymore!
My roomie and I drove here the other night to do some late night grocery shopping and were appalled when there was a sign on the door with new business hours– closing at midnight. That did us a whole lot of good. You know what we ate for dinner that night? Hell, I would have to look at my Unilocal check-​ins, but clearly it was not memorable!
This location is odd. It is on a corner behind some other brick building (it’s always at night, so I don’t know what the hell it is, sorry). Parking here is awesome too– I would suggest if you have a sports car or care for your vehicle, to not bring it, or park it somewhere else. There is a very weird parking structure with some freaky ass construction going on– giving you access to maybe 30 parking spots here. «Inconvenient» is the most diplomatic word I can think of (trust me I am holding my tongue on this). It would be a great place for a teenager to learn to start driving, I can tell you that.
This location has a decent produce and to-​go section as well– now the only thing going for it.
Again, now that they have a close time, I have no use for it anymore.
Maybe I just start digging trash out of the trashcans on the corner like I get to watch the homeless people do on a nightly basis– at least I know it is a ²⁴⁄₇ option…

Ahh… crack Soopers. I’ve grown to love your scruffy clientele and have begun to tolerate your mosh pit gone construction site of a parking lot. I can always seem to find what I’m looking for (ie keeping store brand up front and center next to gourmet alternatives, unlike queen Soopers on 9^th and corona which makes you hunt on opposite ends of the store if you’re on a shoestring budget) and the familiar employees are generally very helpful. This is the lowest priced grocery store in the downtown area almost any way you slice it and they are carrying a wider and wider variety of gluten free products too which is way great. The main reason they get my biz is because they’re open 24h. I’m obviously not the only one that grocery shops at 1am cuz like I said the people watching is top notch. Lock your car.

My husband and I refer to this location as «Hobo King Soopers». I have seen all kind of things around the parking lot and entrance area: broken glass in a pile of blood which was nearly stepped on, what looked to be a pallet of hot dogs run over and scattered everywhere in front of the door, homeless types picking through the trash and ash trays, dirty diapers all over. The entrance smells like urine more often than not.
Once you’re inside though it’s one of the best King Sooper’s in Denver! Always well-​stocked, friendly staff, and they really do their best to keep it clean. Unless it’s a specialty item I can always find what I’m looking for here. They even have a decent vegetarian grocery selection. They’re also open 24 hours a day! This was a godsend for me when I was working 2^nd shift.

Nice store, clean, good selection, with a good deli.
However it’s in a sketchy area of town.
I hate being accosted when I leave the store.

King Soopers is a fairly good grocery store. It has the necessities and they usually have good sales. The produce and organic selections vary in quality from store to store. The underground store in Denver, the coffee grinder was on the fritz– boo!

Kinda surprised I haven’t written a review about «cave soopers» yet. I live walking distance from this location. Although it is probably one of the worst King Soopers in Denver, it is convenient, well when they actually have what you need. Last night I went in looking for a cucumber, I asked an employee and he explained they hadn’t received any that day.
It can be scary at times and I have actually had people come up to me and ask me to buy them food. Crazy? Not really when you are shopping here.

I have always been a fan of King’s. I was sad when they sold out to Kroger. I like supporting local businesses. Although they did sell out to Dillon Companies in 1957 which is out of Kansas. I had a conversation with an exec from Safeway. He told be the bare bones difference between the companies. Their flat mark ups on products are are double what they are at Safeway then they are at King’s. Straight from the horses mouth. It’s cheaper. Safeway keeps unprofitable stores open for tax write offs too. Just a nifty tid-​bit. This location has a good set-​up. The lines are never too bad. The produce is always of a better quality than Walmart. I like the manager special section in the meat department. Good deals. Just eat it that day.

Not the best King supers in the Colorado area but by no means not the worst, when we have to go to do some quick shopping this place is great can’t complain about the quality of meats or produce, Security is always on the grounds and sometimes you feel like you need it

My review relates to the pharmacy. They are the most uncaring and unprofessional pharmacy I have ever had the displeasure of dealing with. I called in a prescription refill on a Monday and was told it would be ready on Tuesday. My husband came in on Wednesday afternoon and the prescription was not ready. They told him to come back the next day. I came back on Friday evening and it was still not ready. They had no explanation and did not seem to care about my inconvenience or the fact that I was without my medication. I will not be back to this pharmacy.

Is this the nicest grocery store I’ve ever been to? No, but it’s the closest one to my house with real groceries that don’t cost an arm and a leg.
There is a private mostly covered parking lot just for shoppers (which is good for when it snows), however, be careful parking because the big cement columns are easy to accidentally scrape your car on. There is a bike rack too, in case you bike over.
Outside the store it’s pretty ghetto, I mean, it’s one of the closest grocery stores to Downtown and the Broadway area, so it makes sense, but it’s fine. There’s a Redbox and usually flowers or something for sale out there.
The inside is nice when you walk in. Nice little Starbucks, produce area and also a pharmacy. There’s usually some pretty good deals to be found.
It can get pretty packed at peak hours, but the rest of the time is good.
Only downside is there is ZERO cell phone service once inside. So don’t plan to use your phone/​internets once you enter.
Otherwise, this place is A-​OK.

In the REAL world, it’s a 3 or 2.5 star grocery. It’s not fancy. It’s not very clean. And it’s rarely well-​stocked.
So. Why the FOUR stars? Location, location, location.
It’s very convenient to me and has dedicated parking. AND a Starbucks inside.

For everything this store has in terms of variety/​selection over my regular KS, it makes up for (in the negative, mind you) with its clientele. Not to sound like an elitist turd – it is King Soopers after all – but this location runs the gamut with customers. Between the students from the campus nearby, the working crowd out to grab a bite on their lunch hour, and the vagrants from just that general area, it’s unlikely they’ll be a dull (or peaceful) moment while shopping.
I like that they do have a rather abundant cheese selection (for a King Soopers), as well as a nice olive bar. The produce area could stand to be a little less cramped, however, especially since it’s the first area you walk into upon entering the store (maybe why it seems so crowded?). This KS also has an in-​store Starbucks and a large deli counter (for those on-​the-​go lunches and whatnot). The bakery is larger and has more selection than my regular one, but it’s pretty spread out (compared to the produce).
I think I’ve only ever used the self check-​out at this store. I don’t know why I do that. Well, I do know why: I’m a sucker for thinking the self check-​out will get me out faster without having to talk to anyone, but something usually chokes on them and it results in my standing there waiting for the «attendant» to assist me (who I never requested in the first place). Yesterday I stood there for a couple of minutes while he chatted with a coworker. I just need the stupid machine cleared so I can scan my breadcrumbs, please. But that’s more a review on the self check-​out machines (and their «attendants» than this location).
I’ll likely continue to visit this location if it’s in between errands or something. The cheese selection is good but my experiences here in general have never been outstanding enough to warrant making a special trip for it. While my regular KS doesn’t have quite the variety in some areas (and a variety of its own with that store’s customers…), it will still be my regular before this KS or any other KS.

A decent King Soopers! They keep it up here and not let it look rundown like some of the King Soopers I have been to. No complaints with the store, the parking isn’t bad either but you should probably pay attention because there is just one entrance to get to it off of Speer.

I love shopping at King Soopers so this hurts a little to give 2 stars. This review is solely based on picking up catering trays.
We were throwing a pre Saint Patrick’s day Happy Hour at work on Friday and I was asked to go get some party trays from King Soopers. No biggie, totally willing to help out. I was told one meat tray, one cheese tray, mild wing tray, and hot wing tray. Okay, I’m on my way to pick up the trays.
Enter King Soopers and walk over to the area around the deli to where I think you pick up trays like these. The guy seemed clueless. Enter conversation:
Me: Picking up four trays. One meat, one cheese and two wings.
Guy: Really?
Me: Yes, do you have the order?
Guy: Let me check. Oh, two trays.
Me: No, four trays.
Guy: You got party trays and a tray of wings.
Me: No, four trays.
Me: Let me see the trays. Oh, I see the wings are together and they call these meat and cheese trays party trays. Where’s the dip?
Guy: You want dip?
Me: It comes with it right?
Guy: I guess, she’ll get some for you.
I didn’t know I needed to take a tray language class before going to King Soopers. Next time I’ll makes sure I’m prepared for this kind of crazy conversation.
It was a bit rough and beyond that the behind the counter area was a disaster, very dirty, unclean with stuff all of the counters. Looked very unappetizing and I suddenly lost all interest in any of the food I brought back to the office solely based on cleanliness.
I don’t think I’ll order any kind of tray here again. Sadness!

When I’m in this KS location, I kind of feel like I want to have my earbuds in, so no one will talk to me, but OFF, so I am aware of everything going on around me.
That’s right — I don’t trust you, Speer store. You seem to attract a lot of rude, angry customers who yell at each other in the aisles (or just yell at someone else over the phone). Your layout is also different than most KS, so it takes me a while to find what I’m looking for. Finally, your checkers (even at the self-​service station) are frequently rude.
So what’s good about you? Well, you are huge. You do have a lot of variety. Plus, your parking garage is just that — a garage. Great for when it’s raining or snowing.
I’ll see you when it’s raining, Speer. Otherwise, it’s Queen Soopers for me.

Parking is a little odd — but great sometimes.
They have a parking garage – which is AWESOME in Rain or Snow!
Even though I can walk to the King Soopers in Edgewater in nice weather– this location is my favorite.
Why?
Freshest produce I’ve ever seen for King Soopers.
Also– the staff always has the store looking great (clean)
I don’t think I’ve ever seen anything sold out out with just one or two items on the shelf! Maybe being a «Downtown» location they get the delivery trucks first?
I dunno – don’t need to know either.
Summary: if its raining or snowing and you need grocery – check out this location – you shouldn’t be disappointed.

Is this the King of all King Soopers? What a dream!
I’m a patron of the KS on Corona. No offense, Queen Soopers, because you’re super close to me and I’m pretty loyal, but this other location is bigger, cleaner, and more organized. So if I’m driving by and need something, I will definitely stop. Parking can still be frustrating — I think there’s an illusion of fewer spots because of the garage format — but that’s the only downer I’ve encountered so far.
There’s a great selection of basic veggies and I feel pleasantly overwhelmed by the deli, where I can get lost for at least 20 minutes looking at all the cheese offerings. Note: pass up the generic Emergen-​C in the pharmacy. There’s a reason it’s like half the price of the premium stuff. Ew.
