King Soopers is testing an authentic French bakery in a Denver-area store

Mar 28, 2024, 3:57 PM | Updated: 8:24 pm

The bakery inside King Soopers stores around Colorado is pretty good. I’ve eaten many donuts, fresh bread and cookies from there over the years, but it may be getting way better!

Castle Rock’s Promenade Parkway King Soopers is the first Kroger store in the country to bring shoppers the taste of France through “La Famille Bakery,” an authentic French bakery.

Frozen items are shipped weekly from Paris Boulangerie Maison Kayser. Each morning, they’re brushed with egg white, freshly baked, and placed on trays. From baguettes to eclairs to macarons, the bakery carries all the classics.

King Soopers will evaluate the success of La Famille in Castle Rock, and then you could see the French bakery popping up in Kroger (King Soopers) stores across the country.
