\t\t\t\t\"\"<\/a>The vastly improved Stapleton King Soopers continues to make positive additions to the store as planning has begun to add a \u201cmedical\u201d marijuana dispensary to the location. \u201cWe have listened to our customers, and it is something that is in great need since the other location on Central Park Blvd. never happened,\u201d says manager Gary Stevens. \u201cI know for that location, proximity to a school and crime were of concerns. At our location, the crime can\u2019t really get worse, and we really aren\u2019t that close to any of the Denver Public Schools.\u201d\n\nStevens feels that customers from Stapleton will appreciate the new offering, as King Soopers gets closer to becoming a one-stop shop. \u201cStapleton residents can now come in and purchase diapers, get a coffee for the morning, and then pick up their weed to cope with the kids later in the afternoon. It\u2019s really a no brainer.\u201d\nThe dispensary isn\u2019t just a good fit for Stapleton residents. \u201cWe get a lot of Park Hill residents and we know they need their medical marijuana just like Stapleton residents do,\u201d says Stevens. \u201cPlus, we are close to Aurora, and this gives them easy access to a trusted brand name for their medicinal needs.\u201d\nThe plans are for the dispensary to be located close to the front of the store near the organic fruits and vegetables. That way, shoppers can pick up their weed, then walk through the store grabbing all the items they may have a craving for later that day. \u201cWe definitely feel this will be positive in regards to our overall food sales,\u201d says Stevens. The dispensary is slated for opening in early November. ]]>\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
