Silverthorne Outlets Makes Purchase

The Outlets at Silverthorne has purchased the former Summit Chop House restaurant, which sat on the market empty for more than two years.

Outlets owner Craig Realty Group closed the $2 million sale on October 3, according to Summit County property records, for the restaurant located at 247 Rainbow Drive, near the Green Village of the Outlets.

Outlets manager Rob Goodell said the company intends to maintain the 6,300-square-foot building as a restaurant, and possibly even provide two or three different food options inside.

First, the Outlets needs to work with the Town of Silverthorne to modify the restaurant's planned unit development to allow for a remodel of the building, Goodell said.

The Outlets' intent is to provide indoor and outdoor seating, and the company is looking at potential tenant mixes, including one business that would offer quick service meals, and another sit-down establishment, Goodell said.
