Trader Joe’s officials confirmed Tuesday that the specialty grocer’s first Colorado store will open in Boulder’s Twenty Ninth Street mall in 2013.

The new store will be located at 1906 28th St., where an Applebee’s restaurant is currently located. The new building will be about 14,000 square feet, the Monrovia, Calif.-based company said.

“The store will feature a festive décor that mixes traditional Trader Joe’s elements such as cedar covered walls and Hawaiian motifs, combined with a local flair that includes art celebrating the neighborhood,” a company statement said.

The Denver Post | Parker: Spicy Pickle closes six of seven company-owned restaurants

Six of seven company-owned Spicy Pickle sandwich shops in the metro area closed abruptly Feb. 6 after the company defaulted on roughly $4.76 million in loans, according to SEC documents.

At least seven Spicy Pickle restaurants remain open in Colorado.

Assets of the six closed stores — furnishings, fixtures and equipment — will be put up for auction at 10 a.m. Feb. 21 at the offices of Davis Graham & Stubbs in Denver so that the lenders can recover some of their losses from the defaulted loans.

Spicy Pickle said in its most recent quarterly filing that, as of Sept. 30, it operated 22 franchised and seven company-owned restaurants in nine states. Two locations, in Mississippi and Arizona, later closed. It listed 14 Colorado restaurants at that time.

Boulder Daily Camera | Ex-Camera property in downtown Boulder could house movie theater

Downtown Boulder once again could be home to a movie theater.

The latest redevelopment plans for the former Daily Camera property include a 13,000-square-foot art-house cinema in addition to the proposed retail, restaurant and office uses that would fill the proposed 160,000-square-foot, four-story building off 11th and Pearl streets, according to site review documents submitted Monday.

“This redevelopment recognizes the importance of an active and economically strong downtown as the concentrated center of the city of Boulder and the associated social interaction of residents as they live, work and play,” officials with property owner Karlin Real Estate wrote in the site review application. “This development is both the end of the Pearl Street Mall and the beginning of (Pearl Street’s) West End.

“The proposed uses are appropriate in this transition: office to accommodate a demand for large floor plate office space and the associated increase in employees downtown, retail to continue the Pearl Street experience and a planned theater use, consistent with the entertainment function of the West End neighborhood.”
