One leather boot retailer has walked away, but a second is lacing up. Denver-based retailer Freebird is taking over The Frye Co.’s former unit at 2929 E. 2nd Ave. in Cherry Creek, leaving behind the Cherry Creek Shopping Center. A store employee said Freebird plans to close its mall location by the end of January, and open its new store a block away by Valentine’s Day. Founded in 2009, Freebird sells boho Western-themed boots with prices in the $200 to $300 range, along with leather sandals, shoes, and bags. Freebird has had a location in Cherry Creek’s Shopping Center for 11 years, according to a store employee.
