s
change is that we will be open in
January,” Caldwell said.
“Charlie had it open 11 months
of the year; he closed it in Janu-
ary to give his family and his
employees a month off,” he said.
Caldwell learned that it was for
sale about six months ago, after
he received a phone call from a
longtime friend, Bob Leino, who
was listing it with fellow Full-
er Real Estate brokers Andrew
Dodgen and Ian Elfner.
Guy Gibson of the Colorado
National Bank, arranged a U.S.
Small Business Administration
loan for the purchase.
Caldwell previously owned the
Blue Goose tavern in Glendale
and a number of sports bars and
restaurants in Denver, includ-
ing Thirty’s, Brooklyn’s and the
Blake Street Baseball Club near
Coors Field.
“It has been around for 41
years, it is a family restaurant and
a wholesome place,” Caldwell
said about theWhite Fence Farm.
“Places like that do not come
around very often and you (rare-
ly) get an opportunity to be part
of something that is so incred-
ible,” Caldwell said.
Caldwell currently handles the
food and beverage operation for
six golf courses, including City
Park, Kennedy, Overland Park,
Willis Case, Broken Key in Engle-
wood and Key on the Green in
Evergreen.
In the 1990s when he owned
the Blake Street Baseball Club,
Piercy owned the Splinters from
the Pine, down the street.
The two often ate lunch at each
other’s establishments.
“I hadn’t seen Tom in a long
time and we ran into each other
at the Key on the Green in Ever-
green and we decided to eat at
the restaurant there,” Caldwell
said.
Piercy, now president of Spurs
Capital, grew up in Joliet, Illi-
nois, near where the nation’s first
White Fence Farms opened in
Romeoville, Illinois, in the 1920s.
“Tom asked me what I was
doing and when I told him I
was thinking of buying theWhite
Fence Farm, his face lit up like a
Christmas tree,” Caldwell said.
The two decided to buy it
together.
They are the perfect buyers for
White Fence Farm, Leino said.
“Every now and then, you
workwithwonderful buyers and
with wonderful sellers,” Leino
said.
“In this case, everyone walked
away from the closing table
happy,” Leino said.
