Northern Colorado has spoken - they'd like to see King Soopers come to Wellington in place of Bella's Market.

Out of 900 total votes, a whopping 62% of poll respondents said they'd like to see King Soopers replace Bella's Market in Wellington, followed by a tie for second place between Sprouts and a locally-owned grocer at 11% each.

Owner Sam Mancini announced last week that he is selling his 2 remaining Bella's Markets in Wellington and Gypsum, Colorado.

While we don't know who is buying the store or what grocer will take its place, we do know that residents are ready for someone to step up the plate and keep the shelves stocked in Wellington's only grocery store.

Mancini says Bella's Market will have a joint announcement with the buyer once the transaction is complete.
