If you wondered, like I did, why Gold’s Gym would move into a building that is difficult to access the answer will soon be evident. American Furniture Warehouse purchased all of the adjacent land and will now build an roadway with access of Highway 6&50 into the commercial development. A map of the proposed access is included on the second page of this newsletter.
American Furniture Warehouse has multiple locations in Colorado. You can check out their website at www.afwonline.com.
In case you missed the Sentinel article “American Furniture Warehouse owner Jake Jabs said he plans to open a 150,000-square-foot building on the property that will include a warehouse and a showroom. The store could open as soon as early 2011.
Jabs said the store will need about 150 staff members for sales, office, delivery and staging work. He said he wants to hire local contractors to construct the building.
Jabs said he opened an American Furniture Warehouse store in Grand Junction in 1984, but it closed the next year due to poor economic times in the area. A growing number of American Furniture Warehouse products being delivered to the Grand Valley prompted Jabs to return to the area.”
