The Mile High City’s 16th Street Mall is caught in an awkward rebirth. Plans for a structural revamping are attracting newcomers to the corridor, but the number of businesses forced to shutter by the pandemic-induced slowdown are a reminder that, in these uncertain economic times, even once-successful retail operations can fail.
“It’s more important than ever that we rally behind the businesses that make downtown special and ensure they have the resources they need to thrive during construction,” said Kourtny Garrett, president and CEO of the Downtown Denver Partnership.Nationwide chain Jason’s Deli shuttered its restaurant on the 16th Street Mall, which first opened around 2008, in August 2020.
Sunflower Bank at 1573 Market St. shut down in April 2021. “Decreased customer visits” — spurred by a boost in online and mobile banking — prompted the decision, said spokesperson Jeanne Lipson. Business at the new joint is steadily increasing as the weeks go by — and that’s without concentrated social media and marketing presences, Glovsky said. Instead, they’ve attracted customers through word-of-mouth and Google reviews.
She considers the spot “a great first location” for Little Finch, because of the mall’s revitalization and its proximity to downtown residents. Construction continues on the 16th Street Mall project in downtown Denver on Thursday, Oct. 27, 2022. Allison Berry, CBRE vice president who specializes in office leasing downtown, pointed to “a wave of new retail opening or planning to open in the vicinity of 16th and Market/Blake streets.”
