When we moved to California 25 years ago, we lived in Baja Claremont and did the bulk of our grocery shopping at Lucky south of the 10 Freeway. Then Lucky merged with Albertson's, and then later that store closed and the site sat vacant for a number of years. Recently Super King Markets opened in that location, and I had to go check it out. I had heard that it was 1) big and 2) very busy. Both reports were accurate. First of all I had a hard time finding a parking spot, and the young men working there were busy corralling shopping carts. Inside it felt as though people were stocking up for Thanksgiving.
I didn't buy anything today, but I will keep the deli, produce section and bakery in mind for the future....

Here we have King Soopers. Silly name, not?
How were the prices, Charlotte?
Lois, they looked about average, but they do have cheap bulk rice and beans and if you don't mind an olive oil "blend" - you can buy a gallon (and less) of the stuff for not too much.
This is a combo Mexican/middle eastern market. It felt as though the owners didn't know which direction to go and decided to cater to both. Whether you're in the mood for tortillas or grape leaves they will have it. Over the holidays the market had good deals on liquor. I hope it stays that way.
