Colorado’s first American Girl store opened today to throngs of
little girls at Park Meadows shopping mall in Denver. The Park
Meadows location becomes the eighth American Girl store in the

spring break at American Girl,” said Adam Metz, chief executive

entertainment experience exponentially.”
The American Girl store features a complete assortment of the
company’s popular historical and contemporary dolls, along with a
selection of doll outfits, accessories, Dress Like Your Doll(R)
clothing, and a variety of the company’s best-selling books. Girls
also can have their favorite doll’s hair done at the Doll Hair
Salon and design a stylish doll-sized T-shirt in the
“Creativi-tees” boutique, as well as participate in girl-friendly
events based on the company’s award-winning books throughout the
year.
“Given our unparalleled success in experiential retailing over
the past decade, we are eager to bring our next American Girl store
