Mountain and Mathews will be home to the empty tire shop no more. According to The Coloradoan, a new $22 million building will take its place.

Rather than another business taking its place, it'll be scrapped and replaced by 'four-story, 71,302-square-foot mixed-use building in Old Town,' BizWest reports. It will be a mix of businesses and residences.
