Denver: Mile-High Potential

The Educational Child Care Industry

They call it the Rocky Mountain State, but there’s so much more than mountains in Colorado. Although it is the only state that lies entirely above 1,000 meters above sea level, its geographic diversity ranges from desert valleys to alpine tundra. It hosted the world’s first rodeo and its capital city, Denver, lays claim to the invention of the cheeseburger. [1][2]

From growth and business perspectives, the potential is sky high in Colorado. Colorado is the second-fastest growing state in the U.S.

The 2019 population estimate of 5.76 million is up 16.9% (4.3 million) from 2000. Twelve cities in the state have populations between 100,000 and 1 million. [3]

Colorado’s economy accelerated in 2018 at the fastest pace in three years, led by activity in the oil industry. Other industries driving growth are natural resources and mining, professional and business services, trade, transportation and utilities. [4][6]

The state also has one of the healthiest jobs climates in the U.S., with Colorado Springs and Fort Collins both ranked among the nation’s top 10 cities in job growth for 2018. The state is expected to add more than 53,000 jobs in 2019 – 31,000 of those anticipated for Denver alone. [4][5][8]

“We’re excited about what the future holds for our brand in Colorado, particularly the Denver Metro market,” said Jeff Brazier, Kiddie Academy Vice President of Franchise Development. “With two current locations open and operating in Metro Denver and two more currently under construction, we continue to take hold in the market. With strong population growth of our core customers, we’re looking to fill the need of the families in the communities surrounding Denver.”
