Things We Need in Western Colorado

Things you told us we may need more of in Fruita/Grand Junction include additional grocery stores in the downtown area. We heard from residents who would like to see more businesses in Mesa County that offer fun activities for teens and adults that are indoor activities and away from the summer heat. Keep going to see the entire list of things we need more of below.

Why Don't We Have a PF Changs in Grand Junction?

At first, this suggestion caught me by surprise, but this is actually a great question. How are there nine PF Changs in Colorado and NONE on the Western Slope? Here's a business that started down in Arizona and has worked its way up into Colorado only to stick to the I-25 corridor.

Bring Back the Drive-In to Grand Junction

There is no Zoo in Fruita/Grand Junction. There is also no longer a drive-in theater in Mesa County. While there are theaters in Delta and Montrose, they often show the same movies with lots of titles like Barbie or Mario Brothers. Wouldn't a giant drive-in out on the Mount Garfield plateau, or in Whitewater be a cool backdrop for the next Star Wars trilogy when it comes out?
