The biggest contributions of the Eastbridge Soopers is that it is close by to those living east of Central Park Boulevard and it has alleviated some of the crowding at the Quebec Soopers. \u201cIt\u2019s nice to know you can get there in about two minutes,\u201d said area resident Mitchell Nash. \u201cI know the Quebec Soopers wasn\u2019t that far away, but just thinking about crossing the Central Park intersection annoyed me.\u201d The crowds may be a little better as well according to Michelle Lockie. \u201cAt times it can seem as crowded as the Quebec Soopers,\u201d said Lockie. \u201cBut, the reality is, I never have a terrible time finding a parking spot and checking out is always considerably faster.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<p>Amid all the positive feedback of the Eastbridge Soopers including better selection, the deli, the sushi, and more organic choices, there is one design flaw shoppers are constantly complaining about. \u201cWhy did they have to hide the first six aisles behind the fruit and vegetable area?\u201d complained shopper Kristin Boesen. \u201cIt makes no sense.\u201d Chris Klein agrees. \u201cIt\u2019s a goddam maze to get back there,\u201d said Klein. \u201cI\u2019ve lost kids on the way back trying to get a simple loaf of bread. What\u2019s up with that?\u201d Mike Focht has experienced similar difficulties. \u201cI spend most of my time when I\u2019m going there trying to figure out the best route to get those aisles,\u201d said Focht. \u201cShould I walk around the fruits and vegetables, passed the bakery, and then turn left in to those first four or five aisles? Or do I walk to the end of the first \u2018full\u2019 aisle and turn right to get to those aisles? I\u2019ve used GPS in trying to figure that mess out, but because of differing variables, it doesn\u2019t seem consistent.\u201d According to the Eastbridge Soopers Manager, the store is considering putting in arrows to help navigate to the first three aisles. \u201cWe know that has been a point of frustration for our shoppers,\u201d said manager Zack Fobian. \u201cWe think some arrows may be helpful, so we are looking in to painting some in. You know, something similar to the gas <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/posts\/king-soopers-gas-station-works-to-make-direction-arrows-more-meaningless\/\" target=\"_blank\">line arrows<\/a> at the Quebec Soopers.\u201d Residents say they will continue to shop at the Soopers, but will also continue to cuss under their breaths knowing they need to circumnavigate a maze when trying to get a staple from one of the first several aisles.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\t\t\t\t<![CDATA[]]>\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"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":[67],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-7350","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-issue-158","7":"entry"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7350","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\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=7350"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7350\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7815,"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7350\/revisions\/7815"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=7350"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=7350"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=7350"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
