Sip Fresh, the California-born specialty beverage chain, is planting its first Colorado flag at Cherry Creek Shopping Center on Saturday, Feb. 7, with an all-day grand opening that leans hard into giveaways. From 10 a.m. to 8 p.m., the new shop will host a public launch party where the first 100 people in line score free handcrafted Sip Fresh drinks for a year, limited to one drink per month, plus a shot at raffle prizes that include Denver Nuggets tickets, AirPods, and two-day passes to Glenwood Hot Springs.
Opening day perks and prizes
The full slate of opening-day perks was first detailed by WhatNow, which reports that the earliest arrivals will receive a complimentary drink on site along with a voucher good for one free drink per month for a year. According to that report, shoppers can also enter a raffle for the grand-opening prizes, with extra entries available for anyone who downloads the Sip Fresh app and signs up for the loyalty program. The raffle is set to close at 8 p.m., and winners are expected to be notified the following day.
Where to find the Cherry Creek shop
The Cherry Creek outpost is listed in the mall directory on Level 1, across from H&M, at 3000 E. 1st Ave. The shopping center's online store listing confirms that Sip Fresh is located inside the mall and lays out the exact position for anyone plotting their route. Given typical Cherry Creek foot traffic, anyone chasing one of those first 100 spots will likely want to show up well ahead of the 10 a.m. start time.
Why Denver? Local franchise push
Sip Fresh is pushing past its West Coast roots and using Denver as part of a broader state-by-state expansion, with local franchisees lined up to operate the Cherry Creek location. In a press release from Sip Fresh, the company highlighted that the new owners bring both mall and franchising experience to the table, and CEO Sharon Arthofer called the Cherry Creek debut a milestone in the brand's growth. The company traces its first storefront to 2017 and has been targeting high-traffic retail centers as it scales.
How the raffle and rewards work
On opening day, on-site signups fuel both the free-drink promotion and the prize raffle. Early guests get that initial complimentary drink and the yearlong voucher, while anyone in the crowd can rack up additional raffle entries by joining the Sip Fresh loyalty program through the brand's app, WhatNow notes. The Denver raffle lineup includes Nuggets tickets, AirPods, Glenwood Hot Springs two-day passes, and a Sip Fresh catering party pack, with winners set to be contacted by phone or email the day after the festivities wrap.
A quick local take
For Cherry Creek regulars, Sip Fresh adds another fast-casual stop for fruit-forward juices, smoothies, and brightly colored, social media-friendly drinks between shopping runs. The brand leans on sampling and high-visibility mall spots as a core part of its playbook, and industry coverage has followed its steady move into new states, including this Colorado debut highlighted in trade reports. If you are planning to chase the freebies, downloading the app ahead of time and budgeting for an early arrival should give you a stronger shot at both the year of drinks and the raffle haul.
