I’d love to sit in one of those meetings…

VP Marketing: “We’re gonna open a chain of grocery stores. We’ve gotta come up with a name for the chain.”
Someone shouts, “PIGGLY WIGGLY!”
Someone else, “KING SOOPER!”
Someone else, “The A&P!”
VP Marketing: “Get those people the hell out of here!”
Old Geezer Chairman of the Board, “Wait just a minute there…”

(electric bumped up here in the mountains, does that a lot, had to reboot)

King Soopers was a local Colorado chain, started in the 30’s by Lloyd King.. the “soopers” was a play on the word “supermarket.”

Kroger bought them out at some point.
