Some of the remaining Peaberry Coffee Inc.<\/strong><\/a> stores in metro Denver appear to have closed.<\/p>\n

Signs at the store at 621 17th St. in downtown Denver read: \u201cPeaberry Coffee is now closed\u201d and \u201cUnfortunately, we are no longer able to serve you. We have appreciated you[r] patronage over the years. Thank you.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

I think that one was mine.<\/p>\n

The phone wasn\u2019t answered today at the Peaberry store at 3031 E. Second Ave. in Denver\u2019s Cherry Creek North retail district.<\/p>\n

A call to Peaberry Denver headquarters today was not returned, and the \u201cLocations\u201d page of the coffee company\u2019s website \u2014 www.peaberrycoffee.com \u2014 was not available.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Yeah, that’s overall not a good sign. And the page is still down — in fact, it no longer shows up on the site menu.<\/p>\n

Denver-based Peaberry Coffee is a coffee wholesaler and retailer. In 2006, the company shut down 11 metro-area stores and re-leased the space to Starbucks Corp.<\/strong><\/a> (NASDAQ: SBUX). The stores were located in Broomfield, Centennial, Denver, Glendale, Lakewood, Littleton, Parker and Wheat Ridge.<\/p>\n

Ten franchise stores along the Front Range were to remain open.<\/p>\n

At the time, the company said it was closing the corporate locations to focus on franchising and on retail bean sales.<\/p>\n

Peaberry Coffee was started in Denver by Bill Tointon in 1990. In addition to selling its coffee at stores, the company also sells them online. Peaberry coffees include 58th Avenue Coffee and Office Coffee.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

I wonder if the Peaberry card is good for online sales.<\/p>\n

Darn — and I have a “free coffee” receipt in my wallet, too.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
