King Soopers

Seafood department was able to give a quote for a large seafood and meat order. They responded quickly and were terrific to work with. If you would like to order seafood in Denver, I encourage you to go here. All of the seafood in the area comes from Seattle Seafood distributors so the quality will likely be the same everywhere.

Normally I love King Soopers, but this location seems to have poor management. There are never enough cashiers at busy times, and the cashiers show no sense of urgency. Sometimes you may need to wait 20+ minutes in line! The only saving grace of this place is Diane in guest services who is super friendly and always helpful. Management, please fix your cashier problem, or please get new management!

Been shopping here for 34 years and I’m fed up with the place. We average over a thousand dollars a month spent at this store. I am in there 5 ish times a week at a wide variety of times of day.
They are frequently understaffed and increasingly the items I shop for are dropped from the shelves. First they move the place where the item is stocked then they reduce the amount that’s stocked and then the item goes missing.
One time they had six people working in the deli department but only two were serving the waiting customers — and one of them was only working the fried chicken «station»!
The other day A head clerk came over to help the cashier that was checking my cart. While she brought up items up from the lower section of the mini cart I was using, one of them said that «they’d always thought customers should be required to bring up the items from the bottom of the cart» to which the other agreed.
I’m just tired of the whole place…
Today it’s the disappearing Horizon dairy products. Went looking for Horizon whipping cream and couldn’t find it (it’s moved again) and now it’s top right highest point where I had to stand on the edge of the cooler in order to get it because the only ones that remained we partially blocked by the three rows of apparently more profitable Silk product on the shelf next to it. I can always tell when a product has been killed as it moves and the stock is reduced first. I doubt the clientele is so hurting for money that they aren’t buying cream. This neighborhood was (last time I checked) one of the most affluent in the state.

This King Soopers location is absolutely horrendous. By far the worst grocery experience I have ever had. They allow large groups of people to solicit all over their store at such a level that you will have encounters about the same thing numerous times while shopping. There were zero standard registers with an associate, only self check out available which we had to go through with $ 120 dollars of groceries. Employees were completely disconnected from the mayhem occurring in the store. Security guard who just started his shift was in line buying a tube of Pringles. It was infuriating, to say the least… a pathetic operation. Will never, under any circumstances, return. Safeway directly across the street.

I have shopped at this store for a few years now. Its a pretty good store. They keep it clean and usually have the fresh produce and meat stocked well. The staff is very friendly.
But, I dont really care for their choice in some of their cashiers. Just a bit too slow. A cashier needs to be fast. No one wants to stand in line for long periods of time. And I have noticed on a few occasions that the check out counters were pretty dirty. My food travels over that area so not real happy about that either. The parking lot could also use a bit more attention. Almost always trash and too many carts out there.
Over all I am ok with this store. I would be happier with a few small changes but its really no worse than other King Soopers.

Last night we got stuck in a flash flood near this King Soopers. After I pulled my three children out of the car (which our insurance has declared totaled), we ran/​swam for safety inside the grocery store. I have never encounter more CONSIDERATE or HELPFUL employees. Not only did they bring us towels and dry socks, plus cookies and juice for my children, but they repeatedly checked on us and took time to make my kids happy. One employee gave my children dry King Soopers shirts and hats. Another wiped up the muddy mess we made with a smile. Another helped carry our things and even my son. The manager found out details about the storm and helped us know what to do. This store showed indefatigable, and truly excellent, customer service when it really mattered, and now I want to get groceries no where else. The people who work here did their jobs with joy and grace through the most difficult of moments.

This place is just grody. I mean, I have always liked King Soopers as a store but this one is just disappointing on so many levels.
The checkout counters are always nasty and full of crumbs or other spilled stuff. The floors look like they have never been washed.
The pharmacy center is absolutely awful. I had tried to explain things to them many times but they ALWAYS screwed up my prescriptions so eventually I switched pharmacies. And really, how hard is it to not fill ONE of my prescriptions because the insurance won’t cover it? Seems simple to me, yet I had to explain why each time I went down there to get my other stuff and they would insist I needed to fill this one anyway. No. No. No.
I’m only giving this place two stars because they have about three employees there who are absolutely great. Polite, kind, always wanting to help. The rest of the people who work here are just awful.
The only reason I come in here nowadays is for a one off item when I am in a rush. This is unfortunately the closest grocery store to my house.

This is by far the worst King Soopers in Denver. I have to drive to Glendale to shop at a decent store. It’s filthy and poorly managed. The deli looks like s**t. The staff is rude and should all be terminated. Scrap it and start over.

King Soopers is the worst grocery chain I have ever shopped at, but this particular location is truly awful. None of the produce is in the correct bins. For example, the lemons bin was full of tangerines. Also about half the produce wasn’t labelled at all so there was no way to know what the prices were. Good luck asking an employee because there aren’t any. They also had only one piece of grating cheese and it was a bizarre $ 14.
Believe it or not (and you won’t if you live in a city with decent grocery stores), this store was were I went after I walked out of the Safeway across the street in disgust.

Best King Soopers around. Large sized sore compared to King Soopers in Denver Metro that are mostly medium sized. Selection is that much better. Store brands are as good as similar name brands for a very good price discount. Free store card allows you to add digital coupons. They often offer digital coupons for the items I regularly purchase in addition to weekly specials. Ample parking. Only negative to this store is lack of gas station to use with the point system they have to save on gas also. 10c/​gal per $ 100 spent on groceries.
Example of savings: I can usually once every three weeks get a gallon of milk for $ 2. I can get enough Gallons to last me until the next sale.
Usually better prices than Safeway, Albertsons, Whole Foods, Target, & Walmart. Still pays to shop though. Sprouts is the closest contrast where you get different deals and pays to shop at both places to see who as the best deal for a fruit /​vegetable or bulk food type item. Sprouts has lousy selection on other items though.

I’ve been shopping at the King Soopers at 13^th and Krameria since 2004. I’ve always thought the employees were not happy there, unpleasant to deal with, never smile. shall I go on? Now I have another reason to dislike them. They’re trying to force out the ONLY real reason for going there… the great small businesses on the south side – the mailbox store, the great Chinese restaurant, the nail place, the day care, the hair cutter and the great dry cleaner! You can park there, once (an oddity in Denver) and get everything done. And those little businesses know my name! amazing. I shop at that KS a few times a week. I’m never greeted, even given a smile. So who cares what they have there. If I’m looking for good and clean, I go to the one at Stapleton or the one on Leetsdale. I’m only 3 blocks from the Krameria KS so I use it, but it is the most unpleasant group of employees I venture to say, in the entire Kroger chain! From the front desk to the managers on duty (who only talk to each other)…one exception. there used to a great floral person there. She probably transferred because the vibe is so negative there. Some of the checkers try to be nice but I’ve seen the managers deny them their brake when the place is busy… then they get really mad and you feel like apologizing for being there yourself. Why expand such an unpleasant place? Why kick out good small business just to give us another 20,000 square feet of nasty people? No thanks! If they kick out those small businesses like they say they will, I will get used to Safeway for fast trips and use all the new great places like Marczyk and Sprouts on Colfax, Trader Joes (just 1.2 miles away), Whole Foods, etc or I’ll use the KS on Leetsdale where they’re friendly and smile, making the grocery experience a pleasant one.

The Mayfair store is simply the worst King Soopers I have ever been to. It’s poorly managed and frequently not stocked. It is often filthy and no one that works there seems to have any interest in being there or helping their customers.
After yesterday, I am done. MANY things were not stocked and when I asked if there was more, I was told that it would be out if they had them. I budget $ 600 a month for groceries and while I’m not giving up on King Soopers, I assure you, I will never set foot in the Mayfair store ever again and I look forward to taking as many of my neighbors and friends with me.
It’s astounding that the store manager lets these things happen but after speaking with him, I get it. He’s an insincere man who’s cares as little about his store as his employees.

The Mayfair King Soopers used to be a wonderful place to shop. However, it is now the place I go when I am feeling lazy as it’s the closest to my home. The parking lot always seems to be dirty and people just leave their carts wherever they think is best.
The layout of the store is fine with decent produce, deli and other items. However, I just don’t love going there.
They do have great chicken wings.
For a great King Soopers I go to the one on Leetsdale and Cherry.

I have been shopping at this store for over fifty years everyone is nice and friendly. Always ask if I’m finding everything OK. The store is always nice and clean.

The Kroger brand English muffins I bought there Saturday had rat hairs in them. It makes me think this is the ghetto Soopers. Now I have to return them. Rats!!!

My main grocery haunt is the Sprouts near City Park. It meets the vast majority of my sustenance requirements, but given that Sprouts focuses mostly on fresh produce and bulk staples, I occasionally need to shop at a conventional grocer for my — erm — unhealthier needs. The Safeway across the street used to fill that need, but I’ve been stubbornly boycotting them recently because of a bad customer service experience there. Enter King Soopers. Exit my self-​respect. It’s a truly special store that continually manages to disgust, offend, and generally disappoint me in every way but that somehow keeps me returning.
Let’s start with the first point: disgust. The store is filthy. While a remodel would mitigate this a bit, the shelves are always coated with a thin layer of dust, grime, and sadness. And while most stores might put out a floor mat by the entrance on snowy/​rainy days so you don’t track in a bunch of precipitation, clearly His Royal Highness the King Soopington is not concerned with such minutiae. That’s not just another contributor to the grime and nastiness that pervades this location — it’s also really dangerous. In addition to these Demerits of Disgust, there are some more appearance-​based complaints: it’s rare that I don’t see an abandoned pallet (also dangerous) or a pile of empty boxes or a bunch of discarded plastic wrapping sitting in the middle of a walkway, likely forgotten or ignored by whoever was supposed to clean up that mess.
Hey, «offend» is next. I admit that some employees at this store are cordial. But it never ceases to amaze me how often I am treated rudely by employees. Whether it’s a deli person greeting me with «Yeah?» and acting like my simple lunch meat order is a tremendous burden or a group of employees (without any apparent task) speedwalking four-​wide down the back lane of the store and knocking customers out of their way, there’s always some fresh new way of being treated like crap at KS Krameria.
«Generally disappoint» is the final point, and while I could simply point to the above paragraphs as enough, I have one more complaint. King Soopers’ self-​checkout program (which I begrudgingly use because most of the cashiers are extremely rude — surprise!) is among the worst I have ever tried. If you so much as look at the loading area funny, it locks up and helpfully states that «an attendant has been notified to assist you». At that point it’s about even odds that the self-​checkout attendant is present and paying attention. If not, you get to sit and wait for the person to return to the computer and unlock your register so you can *gasp* pay for your groceries. Maybe it’s time to give Safeway another chance.
The Good: The parking lot is actually decent. There’s enough space for everyone and it’s not horribly cramped like the parking lots at the stores (Sprouts, Cherry Creek Whole Foods) that I actually like. The sales are often solid as well, but you can really say that about any shire of the Kingdom, since the promotions are all set by Kroger.
The Bad: Literally everything else about this store.

This place is pretty good, lots of selection and was well stocked when we visited. A good selection of cut fresh flowers. A-​Ok on the fruits and veggies and deli. A bit dated on the layout and arrangement of aisles but certainly serviceable. Not a great Gluten Free selection of items, and they seemed to be scattered all over the store.

I ventured into Safeway looking for Candy and snack items to throw into the Kids Lunch box. The Aisle was severly lacking.
Across the street was King Soopers. Much Better Selection and prices. Grabbed what i needed and was on my way.

I like King Soopers quite a bit.
They sell me milk and other shit.
I buy their produce, bread, and cheese.
Their meats are fresh, with no disease.
When out of paper for my poopers,
Off I go to my King Sooper.

What do I want in a good grocery store?
Parking — The remodel some years back added parking, look around back and to the north side of the building if you can’t find anything right out front.
Volume and Turn over — For as long as I can remember, this place is very busy for a grocery store. This King Soopers serves several large residential neighborhoods, and accordingly it’s always busy. This is good for turn over, so the produce and other perishables are usually fresh.
Enough Checkout Stands — so the wait isn’t long or at all — ever since they put in the self-​service checkout stands, I can’t think of the last time I had to wait to checkout here. I also tend to try to shop in off hours (like 1am on Thursday…) so that helps.
Clean — In my travels I’ve been to a fair amount of stores around town, and this one is very clean by comparison. No unidentified spills in aisle 9 to navigate your cart around, no «funny» smells in the bakery department, and the fish and meat counter doesn’t announce its presence from 50 yards.
Miscellaneous Items — Helpful staff, each time I’ve needed them they have been polite and useful. The posted directory is well composed; typically it helps me find the things I can’t by simply walking through the store. If you need a jolt to get in a shopping mood, this Kings also has a Starbucks inside.
Nice job, please keep up the good work.
