I've had virtually no complaints about King Soopers in 20 years. Wal Mart is cheaper but KS runs good specials, has a ton of good private label products and a good deli-some selling Boar's Head products.
I do about 99% of my grocery shopping at King Soopers. In Portland and the NW it is called Fred Meyer but basically the exact same as KS. Kroger does a good job I think.
