Aspen Grove Lifestyle Center

We live right next to Aspen Grove and I really enjoy not only some of the great stores here including the first Apple Store to open in Colorado (it used to be a bit of a secret and rarely overcrowded or busy, but now people have discovered that the staff is more helpful and more available than many of the Apple stores at the bigger malls), the southern location of The Tattered Cover (best independent bookstore around IMO), and the totally awesome indie movie house (and, currently only Colorado location) Alamo Drafthouse. I love some of the boutique shops like Fabrik, Evereve and Francesca’s and they have the standard big guys too (Pottery Barn, William Sonoma, Gap). There are also great events here, like free outdoor movies and the Paris Street Market in the summer and special family events at Halloween and Christmas. Plus, the landscaping and flowers in the summer are gorgeous! It’s also biker and dog friendly, being right off of the South Platt River bike path.
My only complaints would be that I do wish some more vendors would come and fill in some of the empty shops here, which make it feel a bit depressing to see when I visit. Also, there are some okay eateries here (really, the best food is at the Alamo) but I wouldn’t mind getting one or two more independently owned (i.e., not chain) restaurants to move in.

I went to aspen grove today into a store named Flare, I believe, with my family. Two young girls that worked there pointed and laughed at my family the whole time I was there, making us very uncomfortable. So uncomfortable that we left shocked and hurt. Never had I experienced this in my life living here. It’s amazing how you can have two young girls being racist this day and age. I wouldn’t recommend anyone going there unless you like young girls laughing at you the whole time, making disgusting comments underneath their breath. If you don’t, then by no means stop on by there.

I like coming to Aspen Grove because it’s close to the house and has a nice variety of stores that I am a repeat shopper. I love Pier 1, Hallmark, Apple, Gap, Banana Republic, Williams Sonoma, Pottery Barn and the list goes on and one. There is something here for everyone including Starbucks, Rice and a Panera. Enjoy the outdoor stroll!

I have been to several of the stores in this outdoor mall on a variety of occasions and can’t make any real complaints. Parking is ample, store staff is helpful. There is a decent variety of shops here for the size of the center I think. This isn’t really the kind of place you are going to come looking to get an awesome deal on clothing or anything for that matter… but it gets the job done if you are having shopper withdrawal.

I’ve driven by Aspen Grove countless times without realizing that it was *the* Aspen Grove I’ve seen Unilocaled about (especially the Apple Store.) My in-​laws are house hunting and we decided to scout the area for a lunch spot. (We wound up at Panera Bread.)
There are quite a few stores I’d shop at: Hallmark, Eddie Bauer, Victoria’s Secret, Apple, White House Black Market, and many others. Quite a few food choices and fun shops like Gigi’s Cupcakes and Build-​A-​Bear.
This probably won’t be a staple in my shopping preferences, but it’s a nice place to walk around on a pretty day.

This Shopping Center is open air with beautiful landscapes and the best tenant mix! Stores include: Apple, Hot Mama, Gigi’s Cupcakes, Francesca’s Collections, GAP, Banana, Panera, Ted’s, Origins, Avalon… Almost all of the stores are dog-​friendly! The events include: A Paris Street Market, Family Film Festival, Farmers’ Market… If you are looking for a welcoming, convenient, customer-​focused shopping experience, this is the place for you. Storefront parking and the Mineral light rail station are just steps away. This is the perfect gathering place.

I love this mall simply for the fact that we can bring our dog into 95% of the stores. The only stores we can’t bring her into are the restaurants. Stores have ‘a dog friendly’ sticker near the front, and if they don’t, you can ask. We had no problem.
Our dog is well behaved so we take her into the stores and she listens really well. Many employees of various stores wanted to pet her and some places even have doggie treats. :)
On the flip side, I cannot begin to tell you how many dirty looks we got from people when we walked into a store with her. They obviously don’t know the rules. If you can get over that, you’ll enjoy this pet friendly mall.
