    Last refrigerator I got was brand new delivered next day from Best Buy. I could have picked it up if I didn't have a topper on my truck.

    Finding a wide selection of helmets locally is impossible. I went to 4 stores looking recently and ended up buying one from Rezilla online. I got lucky and it fit. Even the Denver Revzilla showroom didn't have the helmet I wanted. They did however have a great selection of other gear.

    Performance Cycle has by far the best selection on hand.

    Southglenn is another example. Regency Theaters is in Chapter 11, closing the movie theater there. Macy's has closed, lots of empty stores. It was originally supposed to have condos-couldn't sell so turned them into apartments. Rumor is the Macy's building will be turned in to apartments-hmm, probably will be priced high so will sit vacant.

    I too prefer to shop and help out the locally owned small businesses whenever I can. For years Performance Cycle was my "go to" for stuff. Honestly the majority of my firearm purchases have been through forums or online businesses though I still look at the local non-big box stores first. Different times for sure.

    The Denver Revzilla store is a complete joke. For selection, Performance has a great inventory. Pricing is very good too. Have experienced great customer service as well.

    Our resident bike guy TFOGGER may not have a ton of on hand inventory but if you know what you want/need he does a pretty good job of getting it for you.

    Be careful with that place or next thing you know you’ll have spent way too much money.
    It’s like a super Walmart for motorcycle stuff and their prices are super competitive with anywhere else.
    Seems like every time I step foot in there it costs me at least $1000.

    If you ride any kind of motorcyccle or power sports vehicle you have to check out Performance. I'm surprised you haven't heard of it before. It used to be on South Broadway near Evans. Now it's out in Centennial or Lone Tree near I-25 and Dry Creek.

    There are also two Cyclegear stores in the metro area, one in Lakewood off of West Colfax (right next to the old Freedom Harley Davidson) and one in Thornton. Cyclegear is owned by the same company as Revzilla which just opened a store in RINO next to Erico Motorsports.

    If you love your freedom, thank a veteran. If you love to party, thank the Beastie Boys. They fought for that right.

    I ordered mine 2 months in advance, was drop shipped from an appliance delivery company, which kept changing the dates unexpectedly. They also forgot to ship my front panels (fancy fridge). I've been on the phone for several hours at this point straightening that out.
