BUILT ON INSIGHT.
DELIVERED WITH IMPACT.
At The Denver Retail Group (DRG),
we turn footfall into better performing retail.
Founded in 2008, DRG partners with developers, investors, municipalities, airports, and resort owners to create data-driven retail strategies that perform, endure, and elevate the customer experience.
Our expertise spans market research, merchandising strategy, financial forecasting, and quality assurance: each designed to help clients realize the full economic potential of their properties.
Our Core Services
-
DRG’s market analysis services identify opportunity and define positioning through data-backed insight.
We are uniquely positioned to leverage geo-spatial information, historical revenue performance, and consumer consumption trends to create curated strategies aligned with our partners’ development and operational opportunities.
Our evaluations assess trade area dynamics, competitive positioning, and visitor behaviors to shape achievable performance targets. The result: a clear, data-driven path to market differentiation and economic success.
-
Our merchandising and anchor tenant planning strategies are grounded in proven performance and customized execution.
DRG taps into its national network of tenants and landlords to introduce demonstrated success from operating assets: ensuring merchandising is tailored to the real estate, not defined by a one-size-fits-all model.
We analyze layout, circulation, and market reach to optimize tenant mix and enhance long-term viability. Each plan balances market analytics, creative leasing strategy, and visitor experience to maximize retail performance.
-
DRG delivers comprehensive financial and feasibility models that empower clients to make informed, confident decisions.
We work in close collaboration with landowners and developers to build proformas, estimate rents, forecast revenues, and assess overall project feasibility.
Our experience extends to evaluating incremental financing tools and similar mechanisms to extend available capital and mitigate pre-development risks. Each model is designed to demonstrate both immediate viability and sustainable growth potential.
-
Our Quality Assurance Programming ensures that operational execution meets strategic goals across retail, hospitality, and transportation environments.
DRG has been recognized by asset managers for airports, recreational resorts, and transportation hubs for creating stakeholder training and measurement tools that drive excellence.
Through intercept studies, mystery shopping, and concession revenue analysis, DRG ensures consistent brand alignment and measurable improvement in performance. The result: increased visitation, stronger sales per transaction, and a more cohesive customer experience.
