A retail project in The Ridge development on the northeast corner of Arapahoe Road and Nome Court in Centennial broke ground recently on a 13,000-square-foot space that will soon house Natural Grocers.
Colorado-based Natural Grocers by Vitamin Cottage will relocate from its existing space on Arapahoe Road in Greenwood Village to the larger space. The expected move date will be in the third quarter of 2018.
The project represents Natural Grocers' new store prototype, which will include a nutritional education center with a health coach, in addition to its organic and natural groceries, dietary supplements and body care products.
Besides Vitamin Cottage, the 20,000-square-foot Confluent Development project includes a 2,000-square-foot Starbucks site, which opened in September, and a third tenant still to be named. The third of the free-standing buildings will measure 4,200 square feet.
“We are pleased to welcome Natural Grocers to the area,” Centennial Mayor Cathy Noon said in a news release. “We look forward to working with Confluent Development to continue enhancing the Arapahoe Road corridor.”
The Ridge at Centennial, a 15-acre development, is in the Lincoln Executive Center and includes a Holiday Inn, Centennial Gun Club, two office buildings and additional retail/restaurant buildings.
