Summit Event Center in Aurora sends debit cards as deposit refund after sudden closure

AURORA — The Summit Event Center in Aurora sent one customer three $1,000 Visa gift cards as a deposit refund following the center’s sudden closure in August.

Grimes put down a $10,000 deposit to reserve the space. But three weeks ago, he learned the owners had been “evicted from the property in two hours,” according to a Facebook post.

“So in three weeks’ time, I had to find a new location for our show and rearrange everything,” said Grimes. “It’s been a hectic three weeks.”
