Emily Chaney and Chris Rasmussen got tired of staring at an empty 20,000-square-foot parking lot in their Wheat Ridge neighborhood.
So, rather than wait for it to get redeveloped, the couple has decided to lease the lot and a 300-square-foot kiosk stand at 6875 W. 38th Ave. It was previously home to Bradley Petroleum, but has been vacant for two years.
“Chris has been a chef in the city for a long time and ended up losing his job during COVID,” Chaney said. “We kept him home because he’s diabetic, but then we were like ‘What are we going to do now?’ There’s a need for more outdoor space in Wheat Ridge, and this was a dead space in the neighborhood. So, we wanted to activate it again.”
Rasmussen, 43, was previously executive chef of the Roxy on Broadway and worked for Juan Padro’s local Tap and Burger chain before that. Chaney, 46, will continue to work full-time as a realtor at BSW Real Estate, but has hired a bar manager to run the kiosk.
