\t\t\t\t\"king<\/a>Stapleton residents have been clamoring for a different grocery store<\/a> for years, and are finally getting one. Sort of<\/a>. Residents were originally angered by Soopers signing the contract to become the grocer in Eastbridge, but eventually calmed down after they found out about some of the business<\/a> that are soon to follow. \u201cI was really disappointed at first,\u201d said resident Julie Graham. \u201cBut, then I realized there are going to be all these great places in that area, so just build the damn thing and we can move forward.\u201d Resident Joel Hancock agrees. \u201cI\u2019m just excited to be done with it,\u201d said Hancock. \u201cBeing able to walk to get breakfast, lunch, or a beer is going to be great. I\u2019m fine with whatever grocer gives me my eggs, bread and milk at this point.\u201d\n\nTo Sooper\u2019s credit, they plan to build a much more tailored store for the Stapleton residents. \u201cIt\u2019s going to be unlike any store we have,\u201d said Soopers project lead Matthew Propp. \u201cWe are going to have an ample selection of organic items, a store layout that makes sense for the customers, and even some on the go healthy items from our deli, which we plan to be mouse-free<\/a>.\u201d Soopers has done several focus groups to learn what residents are looking for, and oftentimes, what they are not looking for. \u201cMany times, it has been easier for residents to tell us what they don\u2019t like about the Quebec store,\u201d said Propp. \u201cAnd, we certainly have been able to learn from that build those criticisms into our design plans.\u201d\nThe one thing Propp says residents do not want changed is the fried chicken. \u201cOverwhelmingly, individuals in our focus groups have told us they want to keep the fried chicken as is,\u201d said Propp. \u201cIn fact, some have gone as far to even say that if it was between a totally different store and different fried chicken, and creating the same store, they would choose the same store.\u201d Resident Chad Mason agrees. \u201cIt may be the best fried chicken in Denver,\u201d says Mason. \u201cI mean, I have had fried chicken from other King Soopers, but somehow, someway, this one has the best.\u201d Propp says due to the feedback, the fried chicken will remain as consistent as possible. \u201cI\u2019m sure there are some factors involved that may change it slightly, but overall, we will do our best to keep it the same.\u201d\n]]>\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
