Fritz Knoebel's Ranch


Betty Knoebel, and her husband, food services pioneer Ferdinand "Fritz" Knoebel, assembled the acreage for the ranch over a number of years. Fritz founded Knoebel Mercantile Co., which was later renamed as Nobel Inc. He grew Nobel into the largest privately owned food services company in the nation before selling it in 1992 to Sysco Co.

Betty Knoebel, in 2010, gave DU a gift of $17.5 million, which included the B Bar K Ranch.

Denver University then sold the ranch to Jim Goff, manager of the Janus Fund, the 5th largest mutual fund in the world.
