Unique corner store that celebrates local history set to open in Five Points

Melody Market will open in mid-April, providing residents and those who work in Five Points a convenient – and unique – shopping experience.

The store will be  located at 2950 N. Washington Street, in the heart of one of Denver’s most historic neighborhoods, and Melody Market will reflect that history.

The store will feature grab-and-go food and snacks, soft drinks, essential grocery items and personal products, as well as a selection of fresh fruits and vegetables.

Local business entrepreneur LaSheita Sayer saw a void that needed to be filled along the Welton Street corridor – a lack of convenience stores, especially one with wholesome options. She also recognized an opportunity to create new jobs. The market will employ two full-time and four part-time employees, and may add staff as needed.

“Convenience stores are popular across all demographics, and Five Points needs a store that is easily accessible to those who live and work in the neighborhood,” Sayer says. “And we’re searching for people to join our team – people who can help share the stories of black history in Colorado, and serve our customers at the same time.”

Sayer plans to create a space that is well-lit, clean, & welcoming. One that will showcase imagery that celebrates the black Americans who contributed to the historic cultural legacy of Five Points.
