KING SOOPERS
YEARS
King Soopers is Boulder’s choice for groceries. And that’s saying something, considering the competition for your business by various specialty food and boutique outlets. But you know how it is – a sure thing is a sure thing. King Soopers knows its people make the difference. “Our teams have stepped up in big ways to take care of the community through this global pandemic,” says Corporate Affairs Manager Jessica Trowbridge. “They have shown up, worked hard and, through it all, have continued to provide top quality service.” King Soopers has what you need, whether it’s dinner to go, a cold kombucha between errands, wrapping paper, a propane tank exchange or – yum – Olathe Sweet, Sweet Corn! “King Soopers has been serving Boulder County for more than 60 years,” Trowbridge says. “We love being part of your community.” 1650 30th St., 3600 Table Mesa Drive, 6550 Lookout Road, Boulder; kingsoopers.com.
