Iconic Colorado Store Closing Down For Good After Nearly A Century

It's a list that continues to grow and grow in 2023, and we're losing some amazing local and national big box stores in the process.

After 93 years in business, Kolacny Music is closing. Our buildings are being sold and we will be shutting our doors permanently on an estimated date of September 30th. We have loved being a Denver staple in the music business since 1930 and a part of so many of your lives.

Having kids in music, and having played the cello as a kid, I know how important these types of stores are, and how few and far between they're now becoming these days.

You will be missed.
