With his shop no longer operating, Tucker Ladd has hooked a buyer for his property off Interstate 25 in Lincoln Park.
The owner of Trouts Fly Fishing, which operated at 1025 N. Zuni St. up until last fall, sold the property in late March for $1.9 million, public records show.
The buyer was 1025 Zuni Street LLC, an entity formed by Eric See, founder and president of the wood flooring company 5280 Floors. He did not respond to a request for comment.
Ladd purchased Trouts in 2005 and moved the business to the Zuni property, which backs up to the South Platte River, in 2020. He bought the real estate — a 4,900-square-foot retail building on a 7,700-square-foot lot — for $1.81 million in March 2021, records show.
Last October, the Trouts business was briefly seized by the state for unpaid taxes. Ladd rectified that situation, and told customers in November “it is my hope to keep the Trouts brand alive and strong moving forward.” But Trouts doesn’t appear to have ever reopened on Zuni after the episode. A Frisco store has also closed.
Ladd didn’t respond to requests for comment about the sale.
Trouts fell behind on more than just taxes. The company was sued twice last year, once by a supplier and once by the owner of a property the company used for fly fishing tours. In total, the suits alleged the business owed around $210,000.
One lawsuit was settled for $168,348, court records show. The other was dismissed without an indication of whether a settlement was involved.
