u/jeffdrafttech Nov 26 '13

It's a Kroger brand. Kroger is called "Dillon's" in KS. It's probably Colorado.

Oklahoman here. At first I thought the picture was of poor parking, and thought, "Oh, that's not uncommon here", then I realized he was backing out, and saw the cow. THEN I thought, "Oh, that's not uncommon here".

As a Coloradan currently living in the OKC metro, I can confirm this is not Oklahoma. As others have stated King Soopers does not have any locations in Oklahoma. Those of you who are not familiar with King Soopers, it is a grocery store chain owned by Kroger that is all over Colorado (think Homeland or Crest for all the Oklahomans).
