Achieve Sports Closes After $2M Investment | Denver News

A beloved community sports center, Achieve Sports, is closing after just two years — despite being hailed as businesspeople of the year in Colorado. Built for nearly $2 million in a former Safeway, the 58,000-square-foot facility faced crushing financial pressure: soaring interest rates, $224K in property taxes, and stiff competition from a new city center just 12 minutes away. Upcoming state energy regulations would’ve forced even bigger costs, making it impossible to keep prices affordable. After failing to find a lease-back buyer, the Herrons sold the entire building to Red Rocks Church for $9 million. They’re now refocusing on their original passion — a smaller gymnastics center — ready to return to their roots and keep serving kids, even if it means saying goodbye to the big dream.
