Local coffee chain Huckleberry Roasters is taking over a former Starbucks in Denver’s Congress Park and a former Peet’s Coffee in Centennial. The shops at 801 Colorado Blvd. and 6751 S. York St. in the Streets at Southglenn will be the seventh and eighth stores for Huckleberry, which Koan Goedman co-founded in 2011. “We’re motivated to keep growing, but intentionally and mindfully,” he said. Goedman, whose company previously took over a former Starbucks on Larimer Square, said taking over spots that were already coffee shops “makes the interactions we need with the city way easier.” “I can’t overstate how much of a game changer that is for us … You’re talking about something that can take weeks to a couple of months versus a year to years, plural,” he said. The coffee entrepreneur is talking largely about Denver’s permitting process, which many businesses have complained is overly complex and time-consuming.
