The Silver Grill Family

John Arnolfo Serving the community in more ways than just eggs John moved from San Francisco to Fort Collins in 1969, to attend CSU, where he majored in Finance/ Real Estate. While in school, he acquired his real estate license and worked for Bob Busch Realty. After graduation he took a bit of time out to enjoy the slopes of Vail and work in the restaurant industry. John returned to Fort Collins in 1979 and bought the Silver Grill Cafe, a modest eatery with a seating capacity of 40. With the purchase of four additional buildings and four expansions the restaurant has grown to a capacity of 150. Although John is not leaving the Silver Grill, he has decided to diversify his interests and has taken on his long time manager, Carrie Hartwell, as a managing partner. Two years ago, John reactivated his real estate license and most recently has chosen to work with Mike Jensen of Fort Collins Real Estate. John will represent both commercial and residential properties in Fort Collins. Because of his knowledge and continuing commitment, he will specialize in the Downtown and Old Town area. John is dedicated to...family...friends...Fort Collins.
