Bon Center is having a birthday party! Its opened in 1953 as Colorado Springs first strip mall (still located o
n Wasatch) and is celebrating its 55th birthday with an open house. Though most of the “ultra modern” look is gone, the original sign still remains to give us a small glimpse into its past.
When it opened it was Colorado Springs first strip mall and still survives and thrives today even though many of its counterparts are no longer in existence. How is that possible? The center was originally planned into the community and its still supported by the residents and of The Old North End and Patty Jewett neighborhoods. The center’s owners try and keep the rents low enough that the Mom and Pop operations can make a living and be supported by its local homeowners.
