grocery store-King Soopers
Take Platte Ave West 3 Blocks to 19th Street, turn right and go 3 blocks North to light at 19th street. Go THRU light and King Soopers is on the Right.

Do not go to 17th street off Platte up to Uintah. There is not a light and you will never have a chance to turn left to store.
