Greeley Colorado Shopping    The Greeley Colorado area is the home to a great deal of shopping opportunities. In just the last three years Greeley's neighbor to the west, Loveland Colorado has become the leading regional shopping area in Northern Colorado.

The major reason for this dramatic change was the development of the major interchange at I-25 and Colorado 34  This interchange was the long time home of just three features. The cloverleaf dog track, now closed, the Outlet Mall and the Wal Mart Distribution Center. That has all now changed dramatically. 

This area including the industrial center here has provided many jobs to Greeley citizens as well as though in all the surrounding towns. It has also given folks here an entertainment and events center that is close by but has none of the infra structure costs.

The center piece is the feature which seems to have started it all. The Larimer County Fairgrounds and Budweiser Events Center.The whole complex is called "The Ranch by the county and the "Bud Center by everyone else. This center is host to an entertainment schedule that rivals Denver which is 40 miles to the south.

The main area Centerra is a major life style shopping area  called the Promenade Shops At Centerra The shops are located on the east side of I-256 and north of highway 34. There are over 75 fine stores and restuarants from which to choose, many national names are located here. Included in this giant complex is "The Outlet Mall" mentioned above and the "Marketplace at Centerra". The Marketplace has big box stores and small strip shopping areas mixed in with the many restaurants and hotels in this area. The Marketplace and Outlet Malls are both located on the western side of I-25. Also located on the eastern side across highway 34 from The Promenade Shops is  a new development  called fittingly 2534 which is also under development and presently has shops, restaurants and offices.

Greeley's largest Shopping area within the city is the Greeley Mall located on highway 34. This mall is experiencing at the present time the same thing as the mall in Fort Collins. As newer shopping areas or villages open the malls loose tenants to the new centers and it will take some time to stabilize Greeley's neighbors both Loveland and Fort Collins are the ones with the largest and newest shopping areas. Fort Collins is the home of the largest lifestyle shopping area, but not by much over the Promenade Shops of Loveland. It is the recently opened Front Range Village on Harmony road 1.5 miles west of I-25. This center is also available to Greeleyites with just a 35 minute drive.

The Promontory is a large commercial and residential park on Greeley's western boundary. Located at the intersection of Highway 34 and Business 34. Presently Swift and Company and State Farm Insurance have large office complexes here. Also some of Greeley's major medical facilities will be opening here in the future.
