Thornton Town Center (Home Depot, theater, live)

[Texan Guy]

I'm doing some research for Thornton Town Center but I'm running a little short. I've completely run through the information from the City of Thornton (but it was a great place to start) and placed what little information on my webpage.

This article sheds some more light that it would have a manufacturer's outlet area with dozens of stores and several anchor stores. No other anchor stores ever came and I don't know what happened to the outlet area. Old aerial images show that half of the mall was demolished for a Home Depot in 1995, but it probably didn't open into the mall. Do you know anymore information that could help me?

I don't live around Thornton but the company I am with completed the renovation for the Thornton Town Center starting back around 2003. I am not familiar with the project but it appears from the pictures that they turned it into more of a strip mall. Some of the main stores there a few years ago (and probably now) are Gander Mountain, Gordmann's, Bally's, and a number of smaller stores.

I do know that it closed in 2003 (completely), with bigg's being demolished for a WM Supercenter and so on. I think that the only parts that remained was the theaters and a portion of the building (gutted for a fitness center). I'm looking for information 1989-2003, when it was an enclosed mall (with bigg's)

Didn't know that Google had this until now, but check this out, it's a "timeline" feature on google that lists articles about anything from oldest to newest. Looks like there are a number of articles on the town center.

Already looked. I'm looking for first-hand experience, really.
