Tony's Market, the suburban gourmet-foods store that made a splash when it opened 8-1/2 years ago in Denver's grocery-starved Golden Triangle district, is packing up and heading south.
The 15,000-square-foot store, which also includes a small restaurant, opened at 950 Broadway in June 2009 at a time when Denver was trying to encourage redevelopment of the south-of-Civic-Center area. Then-Mayor John Hickenlooper and other city officials attended the grand opening of the store, located across the street from the now-shuttered Sports Authority Sports Castle.
But now, says Westword, Tony's plans to close the Broadway location on New Year's Eve and move to a new market hall at the Happy Canyon Shopping Center, on Hampden Boulevard at Happy Canyon Road in southeast Denver.
The new, smaller store at the Happy Canyon Wine & Market complex is set to open in the spring. It won't feature a restaurant, but it will be surrounded by counter-service food vendors, company CEO Daniel Rosacci tells Westword.
