Cupid decided to ing chocolate rather than arrows at the Bergen Park King Soopers on Valentine’s Day.

Cupid, aka grocery foreman Cody Youngblood, dressed in costume with red heart balloons behind him, a basket of candy and a mock bow and arrow. His cell phone played harp music to add to the Valentine’s Day ambience as he stood inside the store’s doorway greeting customers.

And they were delighted.

A Facebook post and responses raved about how Youngblood made people smile and made their day better. Some took sel es with Cupid to commemorate the gesture of kindness.

Youngblood is no stranger to dressing for the holidays. He wore a turkey costume for anksgiving and was a snowman for Christmas.

He said the idea to dress as Cupid was a coworker’s idea, and an online search netted him the costume. He wore a shirt and pants under the costume to help him stay warmer by the door.

Why does Youngblood, who has worked at the Bergen Park King Soopers for two years, dress up as Cupid? at’s simple: To make people smile.
