The Solution

Northfield is Colorado’s first “Power Town,” which combines major anchor stores, specialty shops, restaurants and entertainment in an outdoor setting.

SuperTarget, which features a full-service grocery store, was the first major store to open in Northfield. The grand opening event took place on Oct. 4, 2005, where guests had the chance for a special preview night and shopping in the 180,000-square-foot store.

Bass Pro Shops Outdoor World’s grand opening took place on Nov. 9, 2005. The grand opening celebration featured recording artists Hootie and the Blowfish, NASCAR® driver Wally Dallenbach, Denver Broncos legend John Elway and the Denver Broncos Cheerleaders. This Bass Pro has nearly 186,000 square feet of space and features high-quality fishing, hunting, boating, camping and marine items, as well as equipment for hiking, backpacking, outdoor cooking and more. Not only is this Bass Pro a first for Forest City Enterprises, it also is the first in Denver.

On April 18, the long-awaited Islamorada Fish Company Restaurant, owned and operated by Bass Pro, officially opened. The original Islamorada Fish Company Restaurant, located in the Florida Keys, began in the late 1940s as a marina snack bar. Today, the restaurant is found in Bass Pro Shops around the country and offers fantastic food and beverage selections, along with a beautiful oceanic atmosphere.
