PARKING INFO
There is free 2 hour parking in front of our store but it is often full. You will find additional 2 hour street parking on Grant Place. One block east of us at Grant & Webster you will find a 4 hour public parking lot that is free. A word of caution: the city patrols parking via cameras mounted on a roaming vehicle so be very aware of your time.
If you plan to be in Olde Town Arvada longer than 4 hours, we suggest using the free RTD garage, located just three blocks south of us, next to the Harkins movie theater. You will have to register your plate with their app or on-site machine but there is no charge to do so.
PLEASE DO NOT PARK at the Holliway Building across the street from us. That is a private parking lot and they will tow cars that park there.
NEW STORE HOURS EFFECTIVE 8/13/2023

Please note that we sometimes stay later in the evenings, especially on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays when the weather is nice.

OTHER LOCATIONS
We have smaller, miniature versions of our store inside the following locations...
-
Curate Mercantile in Centennial - University & County Line in the Festival Shopping Center across from Applebee's
-
Sugar Mill Antiques & Vintage Depot in Mead - Exit 243 on Interstate 25 near the Tractor Supply Company in the southeast corner of the interchange.
Note that our website does not feature everything we sell but we are working to add more and more product. Our smaller shops listed above do not offer everything that we have in Arvada. If you are along Colorado's Front Range and want something from our main shop we can get it to Centennial or Mead for pickup, usually within a week of the request.
Your purchase supports a small business in Colorado, co-owned by Chris and Dorn. (although Rosie Belle the Basset Hound is in charge when she is there!)
We are so pleased to have our Right-Hand Woman (Katie) on staff 3 to 4 days a week. She brings nearly two decades of retail experience to Outside The Box and you will most certainly enjoy all of her lovely display work.
Rosie Belle loves people and attention, but she is scared of kids and sometimes doesn't like other dogs in the store. For this reason she isn't there as often as we'd like her to be. Her K-9 sister (Daisy Mae the black and tan miniature dachshund) passed away on July 7th, 2023. She was almost 15 and lived a wonderful life. She loved meeting customers although she did become a bit cranky in her old age.
Chris and Dorn offer...
-
over 50 years of combined retail experience
-
a focus on customer service
-
vast product knowledge
Chris grew up in Arkansas and is a former on-air meteorologist at CBS4 in Denver and spent many years in retail. Dorn is a history major who was born and raised in Colorado and is an avid reader and history buff. He spent over two decades working in luxury retail.
