From the oddly placed arrows at the Quebec St. Soopers to their struggles in <a href=\"http:\/\/abetterbrookhaven.org\/2013\/07\/kroger-fails-to-comply-with-brookhaven-standards\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Brookhaven<\/a>, Soopers isn\u2019t quite UPS when it comes to figuring out best practices and efficiencies.\n<!--more-->\n\u201cThey have an awful history of doing things the best way,\u201d says Stapleton resident John Kriebs.  \u201cThe concern of residents is that that trend will continue if they end up completing their project in the Eastbridge Town Center.  What residents want is a plan from them with data that shows the project will work beyond them making money.  What will parking be like?  Will other businesses be supported?  How will entering and exiting affect existing traffic patterns?  These are the questions that don\u2019t seem to be getting answered.\u201d\nKing Soopers spokesperson Mike Hoffman seems unaffected by these concerns.  \u201cHistorically, most of our work has been put in the area of figuring out whether or not we can make money,\u201d said Hoffman.  \u201cOnce we get the contract, and build our facility, then we start worrying about traffic patterns, community safety, etc., etc.  So, we are a ways out before we start making an effort in those areas.  Right now, we are pretty busy counting the money we will be making at that location.  Money.  Money.  Money.\u201d\nMany residents <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/groups\/502501316433194\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">haven\u2019t given up<\/a> on keeping Soopers out of the E<a href=\"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/posts\/king-soopers-acquiesces-eastbridge-store-will-not-have-parking-lot\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">astbridge Town Center<\/a>.  \u201cThis ain\u2019t over,\u201d says resident Dave Asbee.  \u201cWe will <a href=\"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/posts\/soopers-to-stapleton-la-la-la-la-we-are-not-listening-to-residents\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">continue to fight<\/a>.  The arrogance of King Soopers just makes the resistance of residents stronger.\u201d  Other residents have accepted what they see as inevitable, and simply want Soopers to put more of an effort into designing the store appropriately for the area.  \u201cI mean, they\u2019re coming, and there\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=dCkq5X8-L_c\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">nothing we can do about it<\/a>,\u201d said resident Kevin Kozlowski.  \u201cBut, what we want to see is some effort into doing what is best for not just them, but the community.  And we\u2019re just not seeing that.\u201d\n]]>\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\t\t\t\t<![CDATA[]]>\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_coblocks_attr":"","_coblocks_dimensions":"","_coblocks_responsive_height":"","_coblocks_accordion_ie_support":"","_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[145],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-4850","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-issue-83","7":"entry"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4850","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=4850"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4850\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=4850"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=4850"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=4850"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
