However, balancing those two worlds proved trickier than we anticipated in Denver,\u201d co-owner Andrew Hodd said in a written statement to BusinessDen.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe reality of high office vacancies deeply impacted our weekday corporate crowd, while quiet event-free evenings made it hard to generate momentum.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Lob combines the classic lawn game of bocce with a nine-hole mini-golflike course. Each participant gets two balls for each \u201chole\u201d and has to throw them, one by one, as close as they can to a stake at the end of the track. The closer to the stake, the more points. <\/p>\n<p>Lob, which stands for \u201cLove of Bocce,\u201d opened in Toronto, Canada, in 2018. The Denver spot, which launched on the Rockies home opener in 2024, was the company\u2019s second location. Hodd said at the time that the build-out cost $3.8 million.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/coloradospringsmoverss.com\/?p=655\">Cargill closure brings hundreds to Teamsters Office in Fort Morgan<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis one is way more polished,\u201d Hodd said then. \u201cThe location is prime.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The spot also had a full bar and restaurant, serving burgers and chicken sandwiches. There was even a small pro shop inside.<\/p>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Despite the disappointing stint, Hodd reiterated this week that he believes in the future of LoDo.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhile we wish we had approached this market differently, it hasn\u2019t shaken our belief in this neighborhood.
