Last month, we brought up an article that listed the best and worst grocery stores in the entire US. 

To our surprise, and to the surprise of those who read it, King Soopers was listed as the worst grocery store chain in the country

Now, we’ve heard your backlash, and honestly, some of it was warranted. King Soopers does a great job serving shoppers here in Colorado. 

However, the same study by Solitaired.com has brought to light that Colorado also has four of the worst grocery stores in the country. Don’t worry, a King Soopers store isn’t on the list.

This may be a vindicating moment for many of the people who read the King Soopers article. Many people said Safeway was worse, and this may prove their point. 

The Safeway on 757 E 20th Avenue is the second worst grocery store in Colorado, and the fifth worst in the entire country. 

It has a rating of 3.6 out of 5 with 2,797 reviews. Safeway is also rated as the seventh worst grocery store chain in the country, coming in seventh place.

If it wasn’t entirely clear, Walmarts across the country are consistently rated as some of the worst in the country. In fact, 38% of the worst grocery stores in the country are Walmarts. Walmart is also rated the fourth worst chain in the country. 

With All of This Being, What is the Best Grocery Store Chain in the Country?

We’ve talked about a lot of negatives with these grocery store articles, but it begs the question: What grocery store chain is the best in the country?

By far, Trader Joe’s is consistently rated as the top grocery chain in the entire country, with an average star rating of 4.638 out of 5. 

In fact, 34 out the first 35 best grocery stores in the country are Trader Joe’s stores. While a Colorado store is not in the Top 50, it may be safe to assume the top grocery store in Colorado may be a Trader Joe’s. 

It begs the question; what do you think about this study? Do you think there’s a grocery store that could’ve been on this list? Are there any here that you would defend as being a great store? Finally, what’s your favorite grocery store in Colorado?

These Stores Should Be Included In "New" Colorado Outlet Mall

Formally the Outlets at Loveland, the "new" Loveland Yards took over the declining space on the corner of I-25 in 2023. Since the new ownership took over, we've seen some new improvements and shops and businesses pop up over the last few months including Gold's Gym, Cycle Bar, School of Rock, and more.

Food-wise though, people seem to have many big dreams for the space. Regardless of how tricky some of these would be to implement in the current Mall design, what does Colorado want to see as a part of this new mall? Here are some of their suggestions...
