I have been to some big King Sooners in my time, but none of them have ever been as big as this store. It is not just large, not just sizable. It is collosal, enormous, monumental and mammoth, it is gigantic and grandiose. It is... well, Brobdingnagian. That's a word for "big" that's related to Jonathan Swift's "Gulliver's Travels." We all remember the part of the travels where Gulliver meets the Lilliputians, the teeny tiny people, but many of us forget the people of Brobdingnagian, who are giants compared to Gulliver. This King Soopers is like that! Brobdingnagian!
Oh, it also has a wide selection of goods and groceries, and the staff members have all been unfailingly polite and nice whenever I have visited.
This store continues to get worse. There is always the rude/creepy employee they keep on self check. They never have baskets to shop with. The carts are left in the lot(pictured) , better grab one there if ya need it.
It gets better, nice remodel. Security gate at the entry and a rented Barney Fife staring at shoppers really adds to the experience.
Finally, paying premium prices AND always having to check out & bag myself is always great fun. God forbid they open a register.
This is what happens when you let Kroger have a monopoly in Denver.
Reasonable sized, near 120 and Sheridan gave it advantage in foot traffic. However the way the 1st street curving around the store parking lots makes it a bit danger to left turn onto 1st street specially in rush hours.
The car traveling on 1st street can be a bit too fast and the S curve makes danger for the left turn vehicles.
Items seems to be in good supply.
Pharmacy staffs are good.
It's hard to have a bad experience of the grocery store. I push in my own cart from the lot because at this location historically the place stores carts is empty. There's no big trick to picking out groceries. Today the issue is trying to check out. First thing I do is scan my wine, and the self-check person comes over and I hand her my ID. I'm a couple months under 60 as is my wife. They inform us that there store policy is we both need to have our IDs present for them too allow us to buy the alcohol. The family that's in line and has alcohol is allowed to check out even though they have teenage kids in the line with them. I ask what the reasoning is for this and they say the kids are obviously with the parents. So standard is one of something being obvious. They say that they will bring over the manager who apparently has the ability to override this rule that everyone present must have an ID. Presumably the same process they go through for the family with the teenage kids with them. It wasn't obvious enough to the manager Joe that I was 60 and so was my wife. I find it poetic that people can push a cart full of alcohol and groceries out the front door and the store staff won't stop them but when you're 60 years old and standing in line and your wife doesn't have her ID but one of you does you can't buy it. I'm lucky enough to be located within 2 mi of 10 grocery stores. And of those 10, 8 can fill my prescriptions. King Soopers at 120th and Sheridan has choices how they treat their customers, and his customer I can choose which doors I darken. Going forward I will choose not to go back to that King Soopers. Safeway, Target, Walmart, whole foods and sprouts allow me many other options for places to buy my groceries.
This store seems organized and friendly worker to help you. I tend not to need much help grocery shopping but at other branches if this chain the people seem to avoid eye contact and turn the other way if you do need help. Shoppers just want to get in, get what they need, and get out. This store makes it easy.
First time in the store. Very nice, well stocked. Employees very friendly. Prices were good. Everything I would need. Thank you Safeway. PS Ryan in the pharmacy was very helpful.
I like this store but here is how King Soopers screws customers.They have a 6 pork chop package (1.5 lbs, no bone) for $5. They changed it to a 5 pork chop package, 1.25 pounds. You may not even notice the change unless you realize they just raised the price 17% ! Inflation is alive and well but pork prices went down in the summer and are about the same as last january, so why the big increase??
The other way they do it is they may have an item that is $4.99... they put it on sale for two weeks at ,lets say $4.29 and then when the sale is over the price becomes $5.49. they do it all the time
