Business Testimonials "We had an excellent working relationship with the city...All the city people...seemed excited to have us here and offered to help us in any way possible. It was great the way Englewood welcomed us. Actually, that helpful attitude of the city officials, the community's obvious interest in art and the business climate on South Broadway and the new City Center Englewood all were influencing factors as we made the decision to buy the property and open our business in Englewood." Steve Williams, owner of Jerry's Artarama. Source: Englewood Herald, Tom Munds @ 2007 "I'm here to say thank you to the City of Englewood. We'd like to appreciate all that everyone has done for us. We are going to be relocating our warehouse and distribution facilities to Dartmouth and Platte River Drive. Everyone in Englewood has just been more than gracious and helpful." Leslie Fishbein, of Kacey's Fine Furniture "I have been doing development in the Colorado front range, from Pueblo to Fort Collins, for about 25 years, and I have never, ever, had a staff that was so cooperative, and so willing to help and so clear in their direction. We set a record at Panda and probably for about any development that I have ever done. We started this process with Community Development in March and we opened that store on November 2nd. It is unheard of. And I wanted to take this opportunity to let you know that from Community Development to Utilities to Building and Planning, Public Safety, Fire, everybody they could not have been more cooperative, could not have been more willing to help. And when Englewood says that they are open for business, this is one of the few cities that I have ever dealt with that truly means it." Susan Flesher, Regional Real Estate Manager for Panda Restaurant Group "I would like to express my appreciation to the City of Englewood for the constructive approach taken to our project. There were many aspects of the project that required review and judgment by various City Departments. While not all issues were resolved in my favor, I believe that the people in Planning, Building, Engineering, Zoning, Community Development and the other Departments did their best to keep the City's interests in mind, while not confounding my efforts to improve this property. The City personnel were prompt in responding to our architect and our contractor and they were very helpful in our attempts to keep the process moving. I sincerely appreciate the City of Englewood's attitude toward small business on Broadway." Brett Ginther, Owner of the Subway at 4696 South Broadway [Englewood], economic development coordinator, played a key role in helping Colin Shattuck find a good location and open his business, Sportique Scooters. "Darren Hollingsworth in community development office went out of his way to help us." Colin Shattuck, Sportique Scooters.

I mentioned we were considering expanding and community development staff offered help." He said the staff from community development assisted the company in acquiring the necessary city permits and helped Windsor successfully apply for a state [job] training grant. "I can't say enough nice things about the assistance we have received from the city of Englewood. I feel this is a great community and our company is glad to be a part of it."
