Bowles Crossing Shopping Center Announces New Tenants – Mile High CRE

Bowles Crossing shopping center has announced the addition of six new tenants, bringing an exciting mix of dining, entertainment and home improvement options to the Littleton community in 2024-2025. Café Rio, Houston TX Hot Chicken, Via 313, Color Me Mine, Party City and Floor & Décor are joining the vibrant roster of existing retailers at Bowles Crossing. These exciting additions will further elevate the center’s status as a premier shopping and experiential destination.

While Color Me Mine opened its doors on July 27, construction is underway at several of these new locations, including Café Rio and Floor & Décor. Bowles Crossing is already home to popular retailers like Sephora, Trader Joe’s, Burlington and DSW, and continues to attract strong leasing interest. More information about each new tenant is below.

Centers like Bowles Crossing have thrived in the post-pandemic era and have seen the most significant rebound in foot traffic among retail channels, according to Placer.ai, a location analytics platform that provides insights into consumer and behavior patterns for physical locations. A recent report found that consumers now seek greater variety and convenience in “one-stop-shop” neighborhood options, driving a mix of retailers and services, making these centers more experiential. The rise in remote work has particularly increased traffic in suburban power centers, as people are more frequently shopping locally.

“We are thrilled to witness the continued growth at Bowles Crossing Shopping Center,” Bowles Crossing Property Manager Lori Giggey said. “Outdoor centers are at the forefront of the retail industry, and this is especially evident in Littleton. Our tenants, both existing and new, have chosen Bowles Crossing to meet the diverse needs of Littleton residents. Whether it’s spending quality family time at experiential businesses like Color Me Mine, exploring affordable home renovation options at Floor & Décor, or enjoying fast, fresh dining choices at spots like Café Rio and Houston TX Hot Chicken, Bowles Crossing is committed to serving the community. By addressing these varied needs, Bowles Crossing remains an indispensable part of daily life in Littleton.”
