Aurora businesses flocking to the cause of helping victims of shooting tragedy BR BR By BRANDON JOHANSSON Staff Writer 08 31 12 7 16 am Last updated 09 05 12 2 31 pm BR BR AURORA In the hours after the July 20 theater shootings area restaurateurs were hard at work making hundreds of meals for the first responders BR BR They filled almost any vehicle they could with food and hauled it all over town to police officers paramedics and firefighters who had been working long hours since the movie theater massacre BR BR Celebrate Aurora BR BR We had just a huge response from the group said Gayle Jetchick executive director of the Havana Business Improvement District BR BR The local business community s efforts haven t stopped since BR BR Seemingly every weekend since the July 20 shootings businesses around town have hosted events for the victims raising thousands of dollars along the way BR BR Shortly after the shootings local car dealer Ed Bozarth gave 50 000 to the victims BR BR Bozarth said the hefty donation was one of the biggest his chain of dealerships which includes Ed Bozarth Chevrolet on Havana has ever made BR BR We ve been here 30 years Aurora has been very very good to us he said BR BR Since the shootings donors have given about 5 million to the victims On Tuesday several victims came forward and said they were frustrated with how that money has been distributed BR BR Bozarth said he understands some frustration but said figuring out how so much money will be distributed will take time BR BR They ve had to sort out a lot of things he said BR BR Gibby s Sports Tavern near South Havana Street and East Florida Avenue last weekend hosted a Celebrate Aurora end of summer party that raised more than 6 000 for the victims BR BR Garrett Ladd the general manager at Gibby s said that throughout the day a few thousand people came through and donated cash bid on silent auction items or simply partied for a while with their friends BR BR In addition to all that the bar donated 20 percent of Saturday s sales he said BR BR When Gibby s planned the event several beer and liquor distributors stepped in to help out Ladd said something that made the event possible BR BR Without that it just doesn t happen he said BR BR It s hard to find someone who wasn t impacted at least indirectly by the July 20 shootings and Ladd said that s the case at his bar The Red Robin restaurant where several victims worked is across the street and most of his employees knew someone impacted by the shootings BR BR We knew that we needed to team up and do our part he said BR BR For Ladd it was also important to show some pride in his hometown Ladd who graduated from Gateway High School in 1989 after attending Aurora Hills Middle School and Crawford Elementary School said despite what happened last month Aurora is a special place to live BR BR It s rare to find a city that is more culturally diverse but all together at the same time he said BR BR And having lived here his whole life Ladd said he knows how friendly the city is BR BR It s not a town where people don t wave and say hi help you when you have to change a tire he said If you want an example of what suburban life should be it should be Aurora BR BR At Chambers Wine and Liquor owner Lee Earnhart said that sense of community is part of the reason his store is hosting a benefit for the victims Sept 1 called Aurora Rises BR BR It s a statement for our community we are together it could have happened any place he said BR BR The event at the liquor store on the southwest corner of East Iliff Avenue and South Chambers Road is scheduled for 1 p m to 6 p m Saturday and will feature food and live music BR BR Earnhart said proceeds from food sales and 100 percent of the store s net profits that day will go to the victims BR BR The shooting hit close to home for Earnhart who has been in Aurora for 33 years Five of his employees were in the theater that night and while they made it out safe some had friends who were killed BR BR They came to me and wanted to know if I would help them do something he said BR BR And Earnhart said he was happy to do it BR BR You ve gotta give back if you can t give back to your community you shouldn t have it he said This entry was posted in Batman Movie Massacre Business Metro Aurora News The Community and tagged aurora batman movie

in this business BR A I have been in the hospitality industry for more than 25 years I am an Aurora native and had visited the restaurant several times I was mildly involved with Gibby s under the previous ownership When the general manager position opened up with the present company I was asked to take it over BR BR Q What distinguishes you from other businesses in your category BR A Physically our size and our patio We have more than 5 000 square feet of eating drinking and having fun space with a large full service bar in the center of it all The patio at Gibby s is second to none it is one of the biggest anywhere It s open year round with another full service bar TVs two volleyball courts with the best sand in Denver and even fire pits for those chilly evenings What I believe really separates us from the other businesses in our category is our attitude Extreme hospitality and downtown quality with a neighborhood attitude Our bartenders are classically trained they actually know the liquor and how to pour them In other words you can get the same or better quality drink here but at a better price We don t take ourselves too seriously while customer satisfaction is paramount you will often see the staff engaging in games and fun You never know when your server may take your order on a tricycle If they can t do it at one of those canned corporate places we probably will here BR BR Q What do you like best about your line of work BR A My job is all about having a good time I love to throw a good party There is never anything mundane about this industry BR BR Q What is your business biggest challenge BR A Keeping the lights on With a bar this size and our prices so low it doesn t leave much to operate with BR BR Q Something people might be surprised to learn about you or your business BR A How good our food is We have a full mostly scratch made kitchen our ingredients are fresh and made in house Plus we smoke all of our own meats if you come by when the smoker is on you might eat twice BR BR http yourhub denverpost com aurora aurora business focus gibby s sports saloon Hw645uWYuSj0NEjNNjqM7M story 1 BR BR Blake Karkoska left and Thomas Wang take

http://www.gibbysbar.com/blog/Gibbys-Saloon.htm?promotion=362 blog It s hard to find a Denver neighborhood without a neighborhood bar and it s almost as hard to find a neighborhood without a bar owned by the Little Pub Company Through March the company owned fifteen establishments including stalwarts like Don s Club Tavern the Irish Hound The Spot Wyman s No 5 and the British Bulldog Now Little Pub has added four more bars to its stable the College Inn which has held down the corner of Eighth Avenue and Birch Street for decades Dirk s 7500 South University Boulevard in Centennial Gibby s 1555 South Havana in Aurora and Pifler s 11353 West Colfax Avenue in Lakewood It s kind of dreamy says Little Pub founder Mark Berzins To have four places you know are well run and successful That s pretty tremendous Little Pub bought the four bars from the B U F F Brothers Group on April 26 and now has nineteen bars B U F F Brothers still owns FuNuGyz in Parker Our motto is If it ain t broke don t fix it explains Berzins adding that he plans to keep the names and menus as well as the kitchen and bar staffs We may tinker with some things as we get down the road but we very much want to keep those places as they are Little Pub has opened a number of its own bars including the Hound Three Dog Tavern and The Elm but Berzins says he s taking the advice of his new CEO K C Gallagher that it s a lot easier to buy a place that s already running Why build when you can buy a local champion he asks Neighborhood bars are a universal need They don t take a lot of effort if you have a good crew working in them That s why we make the commitment not to mess with things too much And with that business model in place Berzins adds Little Pub could just as easily own thirty bars as twenty Mon, 17 Jan 2011
