Amelia King here reporting on some of the best ways you can save around Thornton—and support local businesses at the same time. From food specials to exclusive retail sales, there are deals worth keeping on your radar.
Yummy Food Deals You’ll Love
Anthony’s II (Pizza & more, 112th Avenue) offers a full roster of specials: a lunch special with two cheese slices and a drink for about $8.50, “Wild Wing Wednesdays” (1 lb wings for $4.50 with a purchase of $20+), and “Kids’ Thursday” where kids’ menu items are only $2.99 with an adult order.
Jim’s Burger Haven is tempting with its “2 for $8 Hot Dog & Shake Deal”—Classic, Chicago, or Denver dogs and a vanilla hand-spun shake. Also perks like “Square Meal” rewards, birthday freebies, and no reward-expiration points.
Its A Rush Thornton has value-vouchers: choose either $10 or $20 toward food and drink (option for dine-in or takeout), with discounts up to around 40% off on smoothie & bowl combos.
Retail & Shopping Savings
Trunk Collections, located near E 104th Avenue, features name brands—activewear, accessories, seasonal fashion—with prices more than 50% off regular retail. Their stock rotates every weekend, making each visit a chance for something fresh.
If you need routine services, Groupon’s Thornton listings include discounted oil changes at Valvoline Instant Oil Change or Jiffy Lube, spa and massage sessions at local salons, and deals on entertainment like bowling.
Deals That Appreciate You
The Thornton Area Chamber of Commerce helps local businesses offer special rates and discounts for veterans, active military, educators, first responders, students, and seniors. If you fall into one of those groups, it’s worth checking their discounts page to see what’s currently available.
Tips for Making the Most of These Offers
- Always tell staff you have a particular deal before placing your order—some specials must be mentioned.
- Check times: lunch-only specials and older deals may expire or be limited to certain hours or days.
- Look at coupon fine print if using vouchers or discount codes—some exclude delivery, extra toppings, or other add-ons.
- Follow local shops & restaurants on social media—they often drop flash sales or limited-time promos first there.
Supporting local businesses by taking advantage of these offers helps you save, keeps dollars in Thornton, and strengthens our community’s economy. If you hear about a new deal you like, let me know and I’ll share it in this column!
