King Soopers/City Market

King Soopers and City Market are well-established supermarket chains operating under The Kroger Company, serving communities throughout Colorado, Wyoming, Utah, and New Mexico. King Soopers began in 1924 as a single grocery store in Colorado and has since grown to become a leading food retailer in the region. City Market, also founded in 1924, has built a strong presence in smaller towns and mountain communities, especially in western Colorado and neighboring states. In 1983, both brands became part of Kroger, a move that integrated them into one of the largest and most respected grocery retail networks in the country.

As of November 2025, King Soopers operates 118 stores and City Market runs 35 locations. Together, they employ thousands and offer a comprehensive supermarket experience, including fresh foods, pharmacy services, and fuel centers. Over the past five years, both banners have focused on remodeling stores, expanding digital shopping options, and enhancing delivery services. These efforts have allowed them to maintain a strong foothold in their core markets while adapting to changing consumer preferences.

King Soopers and City Market continue to prioritize growth in Colorado, Wyoming, Utah, and New Mexico, with ongoing searches for new locations in both urban and suburban settings. Their reputation for reliability and their commitment to long-term operations make them preferred anchors for new and redeveloped shopping centers across the Mountain West. The brands’ regional focus, combined with the operational scale and resources of Kroger, supports their ability to serve as stable, high-traffic tenants in a competitive retail landscape.
