About Stanley Marketplace
Originally the home of Stanley Aviation, Stanley Marketplace opened as a 75,000 sq. ft. manufacturing facility in 1954, and expanded to 140,000 sq. ft. within a few years. The plant soon became the largest employer in Aurora. Now, Stanley Marketplace is a community of 50+ independently owned Colorado businesses collectively offering a place to eat, drink, shop, work, exercise, play, grow, gather, explore, and (oh-so much) more.
Come for one reason and stay for more. Meet friends and make new ones. Do good. Be good. It’s all good in the neighborhood. This is no ordinary place. We’re here to do things differently. Because we stand for everyone. We stand for what’s good.
