King Soopers was founded in 1947. How the company got the slightly strange name is thanks to an Archie comic book.
King Sooper was the first grocery store chain to have in-house pharmacies. The company has 118 locations, with many of these located in Colorado.
The company was acquired by Dillions in 1957 and Dillions was acquired by Kroger in 1983. King Soopers still operates as a subsidiary of Kroger.
In July 2020, 50 assistant managers sued the company for overtime pay.
In March 2021, a lone gunman shot and killed 10 people at a Boulder, Colorado, King Soopers. The motive of the gunman is not yet known.
When comparing market shares, King Soopers far outweighs all other supermarkets in the state of Colorado, taking nearly 35 percent of the market.
King Soopers maintains a corporate office in Denver, Colorado.
You have two stores in Loveland, Colorado and the one at Orchards Shopping Center stocks Diabetic Baked Goods but the one my husband and I shop at refuses to stock sugar free Baked Goods anymore which is completely wrong. It is not like Diabetics can change all this. Please have the stores all the stores stock sugarfree or no sugar added Baked Goods such as pound cake, angel food cake, cupcakes, pies pumpkin, cherry, apple, blueberry and Birthday Cakes? You all carry gluten free stuff that almost never sells but are refusing to stock in all your stores sugarfree or no sugar added Baked Goods which is not okay. I think all the King Soopers should stock food to cater to all diet needs. I think your stores ought to even offer Diabetic Birthday Cakes too and have a variety of chocolate and vanilla ones too. I have asked your stores to also stock sugarfree or no sugar added Passover Baked Goods too and my request consistently get ignored. And no of these items should be overly priced either as they had been. I think people that eat sugary products should all be charged $4.99 for 4 cupcakes like they were selling sugarfree cupcakes for $4.99 for 4 sugarfree cupcakes it is not like you are selling the Tajmahal here. It costs no more to make sugarfree than to make sugared products. Please start changing this? Because no one should have to do without just because they are a Diabetic. Thank you.
