King Soopers

You gotta give it to the store management for keeping this place stocked and clean. It’s far from one of the nicer Kings’ in the Denver area, but it has all of the essentials.
No, you won’t find an artisan cheese area or olive bar. You won’t find an extensive bread selection with a bread slicer (that would be nice though)!
The deli could be better at anticipating dinner rushes. I’ve been there a few times after work craving some chicken tenders, but each time, were sold out.
So if you’re looking to stock up on your weekly essentials and live in the Englewood area, this is the place to go.

My 3 star rating is due to this Kings Sooper’s location. I use it for last minute items, but do my weekly grocery shopping at Sprouts or the King Sooper’s on S Broadway in Littleton. The Englewood location doesn’t offer some of the premium items such as an olive bar and Boars Head deli meats and cheeses. The bakery and produce don’t seem to have a large variety of items also.

I do like King Soopers as a whole however this location is noticeably worse than the average King Soopers. Prices are the same, however produce is subpar, the Deli offers very little. Expiration dates on items have been close to purchase dates.

Occasionally I experience good customer service from the employees.
However the produce is generally not fresh, and the selection of food seems to be much more limited than other stores. Often the items are soon to expiration (do the other stores send their reject items here?). The selection and food quality for the same price is simply not comparable to other stories. It’s also dirty, and for lack of better words «trashy».
This is becoming a nicer part of town and it’s time for King Soopers to do a major face lift to this location. I am not going to shop here anymore until it improves.

they don’t care because they don’t have to. would it kill them to have anything other than self check out before 10am? it seems to me they don’t have any checkers so they can screw around and not pay any attention to shoppers with full baskets of groceries hoping to find someone other than self check out. they really couldn’t care less, you can check out and bag your full cart of groceries while they stand around and chat.

Denver’s definitions of «shady» are hilarious. It’s a grocery store. It’s reasonably stocked. It’s frequented by people of a wide range of income levels and transportation modes, as well as the occasional pre– or post– Gothic crowd. It has a Starbucks in it now, and the folks at the customer service desk are reasonably cheerful and competent at requests ranging from buying event tickets to exchanging propane containers to wiring money to Mexico (that last one wasn’t me, but the lady asking questions seemed content with the answer).
Honestly, the only thing that creeps me out about this place is the security presence, but maybe that’s just because I haven’t lived in Colorado long enough to be used to guys rolling up in golf carts packing heat in the parking lot. Now *that* feels shady.

This place is better than the Safeway nearby (although that’s not saying much), but it could be SO much better.
Really, if they just improved 2 things I would be happy.
1) Improve your veggie selection, and stock more often
2) Get a cheese section. A real one, like at the Hampden location.
Yes, there are some «shady» people here, but I prefer that to all the identical-​looking yuppies at Whole Foods (especially the Wash Park location– yikes!)

Wow, I have a VERY different experience than others, apparently. I shop there a lot because it’s so close, but I always find everything to be well-​stocked, fresh and clean.
And now, I can share my experience with a problem that occurred. Amanda, the Asssistant Manager handled the issue by going above and beyond. My checkout clerk sneezed repeatedly on her hands, and without sanitizing them, she touched every single item I purchased, plus the bags. She said she’d been sneezing all day.
Not wanting to get sick, I handled the bags with gloves. But decided there was no way to sanitize my organic produce, and everything had highly contagious spores on it. I do not want to get sick, so I called the store.
Amanda reshopped everything on my list, and had it delivered to my door! She was fantastic.

This King Soopers used to be Creepy with a capital C. We used to stop in here when we’d go to a show at the Gothic and have to head back to Boulder after. And the folks that are «shopping» there later at night… wow. No wonder this location isn’t open 24 hours/​day.
They’ve now remodeled and it’s much nicer; cleaner. That said, it still gets some real creepy folk in here. The best time to go is on a Saturday or Sunday first thing. More soccer moms, less shady folk. It’s also the best time to get fresh produce. They don’t seem to restock throughout the day. Additionally they seem to stock less of everything at this location. It’s for this reason I prefer the location at Colorado Blvd in University Hills as it’s only a ten minute drive up Evans.
However, this location is A-​OK and it’s right near my house, so I do stop in often.

They have what I need, but I only go here in a pinch. This store is dark and seems old. Not at all a place I like to shop.

This place is gross. Produce is covered in flys, the ground is dirty, and the crowds that typically go there are definitely shady. Not a fan

I’ve been shopping here since I was a kid, so I guess I wasn’t really doing the shopping… This place has got to be staffed by the friendliest group of people in Englewood. Everyone who works there is genuinely helpful and they have a good selection of Natural foods. When my son was really little, they even got in the Lactose Free milk in gallon jugs, JUST FOR ME! They’re willing to do that for anyone who asks. Very nice.

I’m so happy with the organic and natural selection here. (I’ve been to other KS and not really impressed.) BUT, I frequent this place about 3x a week, since they are much cheaper than WF. They have great gluten-​free stuff, loads of Amy’s, and even natural energy drinks. They have agave nectar, organic meats, and even organic nutella! How can you go wrong… And if nothing else, this is a great place to people-​watch and wonder in amusement, how they ever got here in the first place.

Some stock girl bumped into me while chatting with her boyfriend. Her apology «Sorry princess, I didn’t mean to get your Baby outfit dirty and ruin your day.» She meant Bebe.
Shady crowds at times. Maybe why they have a cop up front or a rent a slacker. Bought Raspberries after carefully looking them over. Apparently not close enough. Later that day when my fingers went snacking I found mold berries. The deli lacked variety but it was eight something am. The meat is red like a crayon; you can guarantee plenty of Carbon Monoxide to heighten its sexual powers on your taste buds.

Don’t park here when you see a show at the Gothic or you will get towed… unless you are reeeeeely drunk because then nothing bad will happen to you.
