Maine Shack, which first opened its doors in Denver in 2019, is closing its two free-standing locations in Colorado, according to the company’s social media pages. The Boulder store, at 2010 16th St., closed on Sunday, Nov. 3, just a year after it opened. “This was not an easy decision to make, but with the rising cost of labor and goods, along with current economic challenges facing small businesses, closing Boulder was best for the health of our company,” the message read.
