Downtown’s newest business hopes to be the coldest thing on the 16th Street Mall.  

Sundae, an ice cream joint with five high country locations from Glenwood Springs to Vail, is opening its sixth spot in Denver at 1600 Glenarm Place. 

“We’re thrilled to officially announce our flagship store is opening soon in the heart of downtown Denver, and it’s unlike anything we’ve done before,” a blog post on its website reads. 

Sundae’s 5,100-square-foot space will be more than just a storefront. Permit filings submitted to Denver show a 2,300-square-foot commercial kitchen with multiple freezers and refrigerators. There’s an area for “shipping/staging,” a classroom and a production kitchen in addition to a traditional retail section.

The large kitchen will have windows facing the 16th Street Mall, where those passing by will be able to watch ice cream and cones being made. Enthusiasts will be able to take “sundae school” in its classroom, creating custom flavors to take home. 

The company founded in 2016 founded by Kent Beidel in Vail makes small-batch ice cream daily, according to its website. A single scoop costs $6, and a typical sundae costs between $8 and $11. It offers catering services and also sells its ice cream by the pint or in a cake. 

Sundae’s space was previously home to Cook’s Fresh Market, a market for produce and meat along with a full deli that has been closed for years. 

The 31-story 1600 Glenarm Place building was converted from office space to residences in 2006 and has 30,000 square feet of ground-floor retail space. The property was sold to Massachusetts-based Northland Investment Corp. in 2018 for $131 million.

Sundae’s new spot is across the street from the Denver Pavilions Mall and along a short stretch of Glenarm that is closed to vehicles.
