Another view of the north section of the shopping concourse. On the right is The Sutler, a men's wear retailer. Next to this is a Holly's dress shop. A corridor accessing the rear parking area comes next, followed by Roley's Card Shop and Three Sisters dress shop.

In our final interior view shows the Hesteds 5 & 10 mall entrance. This store, which covered 36,000 square feet, included a William Tally Cafeteria. The UNIVERSITY PLAZA Hesteds and cafeteria operated in the mall for over 10 years.

King Soopers, a popular Denver-based grocer, anchored the south end of UNIVERSITY PLAZA. In fact, King Soopers is STILL operating at the shopping center after nearly 60 years!

A newspaper promotion from November 1965 announces the mall's 1st Anniversary celebration. At this time, UNIVERSITY PLAZA housed twenty-four stores and services.
