                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, March 12, 2020

  Mr. PERLMUTTER. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize and applaud 
Little Pub Company for receiving Commerce City's Business Appreciation 
2020 Retail Investment Award for Leadership.
   The Retail Investment Award for Leadership honors a retailer or 
commercial developer who contributed to the city's economic vitality 
through the introduction of a new business that brought new employment 
and/or new capital investment to the city in the last year. Founded in 
Denver in 1994, Little Pub Company currently operates over 20 
restaurants and/or bars across the Denver metropolitan area. Each 
location is unique--names and defining characteristics are specific to 
each neighborhood in which they are built.
   Little Pub Company was a pioneer in Commerce City. The company built 
the northern range's first free-standing full-service restaurant and 
bar in 2019, State House 38. The 5,424 square-foot restaurant brought 
75 new jobs to the city in 2019. The name pays tribute to Colorado, the 
38th state in the Union. Inside, the walls are decorated with photos 
illustrating the history of Commerce City.
   I extend my deepest congratulations to Little Pub Company for this 
well-deserved recognition from Commerce City.
