King Soopers

Located downtown with a garage (no fee to park) lots of organic and health items. Also a beautiful cheese and dessert area. Check out the cooler next to the bottled water and almond milks they have discounted prepackaged foods usually.

Definitely a more hip and younger clientele than most other King Sooper stores, but it is a really nice location. Everyone I visit the store is so clean and presentable. The only gripe I have is that after work I can never find fresh baked bread, I am not sure if it’s because they don’t have it or if they just hide it really well. I have looked by the front door, the cashier lines, by the bakery and I can never find it, I’m talking about the fresh baked French bread not just your other regular breads that are always out by the doughnuts and cookies.

5 stars for the manager who went out of his way to not only get red quinoa stocked in the store but also lemongrass! THANK YOU!
Parking isn’t great, so I walk there sometimes. Other than that, I pretty much love everything about this location. The grab-​and-​go concept is a winner as well. I have tried a few of the sandwiches and they are better than anything I could throw together in a hurry.

I’m so glad there is finally a grocery store downtown near my work! The prices seem to be on point with other parts of the city too. Plenty of grab and go lunch options. The deli has really affordable prices on sandwiches, wraps and chicken. The only thing that is missing is a real salad bar — other King Soopers in the area of similar size seem to have one. Add that in and it would be 5 stars for me. I can’t comment on the parking, since I always walk here during my lunch break.

Union Station is in the midst of a development frenzy and with that comes a shiny brand new King Soopers.
This King Soopers lends itself to the grab and go customer with fresh sushi to order, sandwich counter and a beautiful pastry counter. The aisles are arranged differently that takes some getting used to (I like the challenge). The parking lot is not ideal; awkwardly placed columns and multiple entrances and exits create a parking lot that requires lots of patience.
I enjoy the convenience of having a King Soopers downtown and close to my office. They are definitely trying to build their customer base early to prepare for the Whole Foods being built just a few blocks away in the upcoming years.

One of the thing that separates this King Soopers from other grocery store is the bakeries inside… my favorite spot whenever we shop here. parking can be a hassle during weekend, so I always avoided this place during that day.

The supermarket loses stars due to the parking ratio — not enough parking during the busy weekend. It also loses points for being located on an intersection that can be VERY inconvenient during busy traffic /​downtown events /​sports games.
Other than that, this supermarket can be convenient if you live downtown. Just opened in 2014, it’s fresh and new. They have everything, including a sushi bar (with sushi that rotates around the bar).

Yes it’s a grocery store. But it’s groceries downtown, and kinda fancy pancy type of set up.
There is a little sushi area, a starbucks, and a wells right outside.
The parking has been ok so far. For those that missed it, it’s underneath, and currently no purchase necessary, but realy if you are there, you are probably getting something!
The bakery looks amazing — can’t wait to get something! The bread smells and looks amazing and the rest of the items there are fabulous — plenty of organic stuff, fresh items, cheese and more!
So excited that i don’t have to drive to stapleton to grocery shop

Awful King Soopers! No parking. Had to pay for parking at a meter. Rude staff and long wait lines. I can’t wait for Whole Foods to be built next door. Over this place!

This is between my office and home, so really happy to have an option other than the Unsafeway. It was well laid out, there was ample parking in the underground garage, and all their produce seemed great. I think this will be my new go to. Also nice that there’s a Wells Fargo in the same building.

Amaaaazing! So organized and better than other kingsoopers! It beats whole food with the atmosphere of it and makes me want to be loyal. I’m doing my grocery there from now on, and only there!
Love it!
I was acting like a little kid who’s excited for a Disney trip!

SNIFF—
Ahhh. that New Grocery Store smell!
This new King Soopers location has taken a lot from Whole Foods it seems
«Upscale» and «urban» would be two adjectives best describing
Typical grocery selections– with fresh meats and produce, frozen foods and canned/​packaged goods.
Obligatory Starbucks located inside
Covered parking garage= always a plus for rain and winter weather!

I wanted to wait to write this review until we had been in a few times. Now I can say, I’m overall pretty impressed and very happy to have a good grocery store near us.
Really good things:
— the bulk section: I love their chocolate-​covered almonds
— the bakery: huge selection of yummy desserts! Bread selection looks pretty legit too, though we haven’t purchased anything other than a couple of bagels (which were actually pretty disappointing. I realize we shouldn’t expect great bagels in Denver but… Still)
— cheese section: love Murrays!
Not so good things:
— the meat department: honestly, they are WAY overpriced and I haven’t seen any good sales on cuts of meat we would actually want to purchase (ribeye, tenderloin, strip steak, etc). Their sirloin is sold at a price I would be willing to pay for one of the above-​mentioned cuts. It’s kind of a joke. Their seafood section, on the other hand, is actually pretty OK
— deli counter: I have a specific complaint here. We’ve now had two employees that have no idea how to handle prosciutto. Both of them initially tried to slice it thick (like, really thick) and have only gotten it thin enough after several back-​and-​forths. Even worse, both of them balled up our prosciutto into an unmanageable mess that took several minutes to correct ourselves when we got home. Each layer should have been placed between individual pieces of wax or parchment paper. Neither of them were even able to identify the prosciutto in the first place, and had to call several other people over before someone figured out what it looked like. I hate to complain about such a small issue, but when you offer cured meats in the $ 20+ range, you need to know how to handle them.
(Edited to add: we are happy that they even offer prosciutto, most stores in the area don’t at all. So that’s a big plus!)
Despite our few complaints, we really love the store and it will be our main go-​to. I just really hope management sees the comment about the prosciutto and instructs the deli employees on properly handling it!

I’ve lived downtown in a relative food desert for awhile, so I was particularly excited when they recently opened up this King Soopers in downtown Denver. After going there several times, my excitement has only increased.
This is apparently an «upscale» King Soopers, and that’s clear. There’s a sushi bar, where you can grab the standard grocery store sushi in a to go container. Or you can sit at that sushi bar and select the sushi you want as it goes by on a conveyer belt. Different colors on the containers indicate different prices for the sushi, and it’s all explained clearly on the signs.
Unlike other King Soopers in the area, the store is bright and clean with high ceilings. There’s a great selection of items. An olive bar, a good selection of cheeses, a long deli counter, a nice bakery with some great desserts, and a floral section. There’s also an indoor Starbucks with seating inside the store and outside on the 20^th street side of the building.
There’s a parking garage with 80+ spaces. This one has a much higher ceiling than the one on Speer, and it doesn’t feel claustrophobic. There are also metered parking spots in front of the store.
The attached pharmacy has a lot of homeopathic and naturopathic remedies, as well as supplements. If you are looking for more mainstream pain relievers (Advil, Tylenol) or cold relief (Nyquil), then you’ll need to go to the middle of the store, as those items aren’t in the pharmacy area.
I’ve been to the store at a few different times and days. So far, I’ve never had a long wait. There don’t seem to be a lot of registers, though, so I’m hoping the wait times don’t increase.
If this store is located close to you, I encourage you to check it out! It’s also a good option before Rockies games or during a downtown adventure.

YAY new neighborhood place to shop.
Sure it’s JUST a King Soopers, but it’s actually near downtown.
Had I hankering, i could bike over and do a days shopping. Need something it’s a short, short drive.
Plusses:
very convenient to downtown
Very good selection, better than i’ve seen at other Soopers.
Sushi (not sure about that yet)
Starbucks with nice little patio.
Minuses:
The parking area is not very large. Like ‘what were they thinking?’ small. Should prove interesting as the popularity grows.
not closer to my place :)

This is a great KS. Lots of take out options and it’s easy to get in and out. I was wondering about downtown parking, but there are garage spaces available. A nice addition to the neighborhood and needed apparently. It was really busy at lunch a couple of days ago.

Location location location … Chestnut & 20^th … wow now all those LoDo lofts don’t have to go to the un-​safeway in 5 points … great news for LoDo & RiNo loft dwellers.

A-​OK — seems just about like every other King Soopers, except it has all its parking in a garage and it didn’t seem like were all that many spaces in there and it seemed kind of like a cluster in there. The store had all the usual sections almost all other King Soopers have, but they also have a sushi station with a conveyor belt. There are four stories of apartments right over the store and it’ll surely be quite convenient for them, and all the other surrounding apartments.

At long last the Downtown grocery store drought is over. A new store at the confluence of Lodo, Union Station, Ballpark, and Highlands.
Three blocks from the 16^th Shuttle and maintaining 80+ parking spots in garage, the store is very accessible. The store itself is airy and the huge space feel very open; very high ceilings.
If you enter from Chestnut, the florist and produce area lay before you. To the left; full deli, pastries and a sushi bar (it works by sitting at the bar and choosing sushi from a conveyor.) The Starbucks sits near the sushi bar and there is a seating area; not sure there will be enough tables for very busy times, though there is some outside seating too.
The meat department and dairy are both extensive and attractive. The staff are very friendly and seem excited to be here, likely owing to the newsness and dynamic feel of the neighborhood.
Overall a very nice store, well done King Soopers. Game-​changer for Downtown living.
Also, no one panhandled outside the store and the shopping carts didn’t seem diseased like another location that will remain nameless.

Living in the burbs the majority of my life, driving to a grocery store was always on my list of things to do. Sometimes, I would drive up to 45 minutes in order to procure the freshest of the fresh. It started to get old.
I then moved to a neighborhood in Downtown Denver, which is still being developed. I am always curious to see what is popping up around the neighborhood. I noticed an apartment building across the street, with a dedicated first floor to retail. I knew this could go well.
So everyday I sat on my patio, drinking beer, watching this place get built. One morning, I saw scaffolding come up. And then a sign. That sign said King Soopers. I thought I was getting punked. I couldn’t believe it– a grocery store less than 500 feet from where I live! The next question is, when will it open?
I continued to watch it, day after day, night after night– watching the high winds knock over the scaffolding– the people staring at the building in awe, the drunk people yelling at the windows for not being open, this building started growing on me in a weird, twisted way.
And then when I found out when it would open, I would make it a point to be the first customer, add a Unilocal listing for the place, and get my FTR (First To Review) badge. That simple, eh?
I have only lived in Denver for 16 months now. I am sure there have been locals living here for tenfold the time. The events leading up to the Grand Opening (which should have been at 0600 today) would prove that to me. I did my best to get off work around 0015 (I usually get out around 0100 – 0230). As I was driving by at that time, it looked like the parking lot was already full. I am sure at that time, it was still construction workers putting on the final touches.
I sat on my balcony just downing beers, getting ready for the magic hour to come. I kept calling my roommate (who was driving back from Memphis), begging him to make it home so we can check this place out.
It amazed me during the 1 – 3 o clock hours how many cars drove by, stopped, pulled in, and did triple drive bys. You would have thought they saw Johnny Depp signing autographs or something. Then, by the 0400 hour, people started lining up the street parking, getting out of their cars with chairs and shit. I was laughing at them, since I was able to camp out at the comfort of my own home. Unfortunately I got a little too comfortable. After all that shit talking of me being the first customer, I passed out @ 0500.
I kept waking up on the hour every hour, with no will to get up. Around 1000, I heard someone playing the oldie hit «Downtown». I thought I was dreaming. I looked to see if anyone had reviewed the place yet, and I saw someone did. Dammit! All that work for nothing!
As I am sitting here in my living room watching all of the people walk by (this is the busiest I have ever seen Chestnut Pl), I am glad to know they are about to get treated well.
I like the thought that they have the pharmacy. They have a Wells Fargo attached (along with 2 outside ATMs). They have a Starbucks (which apparently will close at 12AM!). They have a cheese selection boasting 120+ types. They have food already made to grab n go. They have employees working at the windows so you can wave to them while they are working. And best of all, the have a primo location.
I am absolutely looking forward to having my late night (after work) strolls in here. Well done, King Soopers, well done. Oh yea, and for all you Easterners out there– your Kroger Plus card is honored here!
Lesson learned– the early bird DOES get the worm, just don’t get too drunk, or that early bird becomes the late one…
