King Soopers plans to renovate the interior and exterior of their Table Mesa store. In partnership with the City of Boulder, King Soopers is working to accelerate the rebuilding process with the goal of a late fall opening. The rebuilding is another step in the healing process following the March 22 senseless act of violence. The redesign of the store will be thoughtful and will include input from associates and the community.
The company continues to support the needs of associates, families, survivors and the community affected by the recent tragedy. The Community Resource Center, located at 603 Broadway, will continue to provide mental health services and assistance to those who have been traumatized by this event. Counselors and other professionals from Mental Health Partners will be available to the public. The center is open Tuesday – Sunday, from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. and can be reached by email at boulderresourcecenter@kingsoopers.com or by calling 303-778-2703.
King Soopers is taking several additional actions to support associates and the community during this difficult time, including:
• Donation of $1 million to the Colorado Healing Fund to support the needs of victims, families, survivors and the community affected by the tragedy
• Donation of products from the Table Mesa location to Community Food Share to help sustain the Boulder community
• Ensuring associates who were directly affected by the tragedy can recover with the support of emergency paid leave, and
• Offering an associate hotline to answer questions or assist with ongoing concerns.
“Our plan to reopen is a testament to the resilience of our associates and the Boulder community. We continue to mourn those who were lost and stand with the other victims of this senseless tragedy” said Steve Burnham, President of King Soopers/City Market. “Our goal is to support one another and grieve and heal together.
