Golden’s newest food hall was no run-of-the-mill project.
The historic Golden Mill, which originally opened downtown in 1865, is in the process of being turned into a five-stall food hall through a $6 million project.
After two years in the works, Golden Mill Feed & Drink expects to open in March, according to Mark Shaker, who partnered with three couples to develop the project.
“We wanted this project to really embrace Golden and not just be a transplant from Denver,” Shaker said while looking out from the food hall’s second story earlier this month. “I mean, look at this location. We’re right on the water; there are foothills around you, and the scenic nature is just hard to beat.”
