Grocery and Food Routines in Falcon
> You will drive for groceries in Falcon. Building a smart routine around this is one of the first things new residents work out.
Main grocery options
King Soopers on Highway 24 near Woodmen is the primary grocery store for most Falcon residents. Safeway is available slightly further west. Walmart Supercenter on Powers Boulevard covers bulk shopping. Costco requires a trip into Colorado Springs proper.
How most families structure shopping
