About Us
Jenna and Dennis Ridgeway opened their first JJ’s Hallmark in January of 1982, on the corner of Quincy and Buckley in Aurora. Since then, the JJ’s chain expanded with stores in 5 major cities throughout Colorado including the former Southglenn Mall in Centennial and various locations in Aurora, Parker, Littleton and Castle Rock.
Naming their stores after Jenna’s maiden name initials, the couple has always maintained a very personal involvement in the business, the lives of their employees and the desires of their customers. Every year they travel to various gift shows in Chicago, Atlanta and other cities, seeking out the hottest new products to stock the shelves. During many of the early years, Dennis could be seen at the annual Christmas open houses donning a Santa outfit and handing out popcorn.
Jenna and Dennis live in Littleton with their two dogs. When they’re not conducting wedding invitation training seminars, lugging heavy fixtures around town, or transferring product between stores, they enjoy tennis, golf and traveling to visit their 2 daughters and grandchildren.
