Hi,
We're currently doing research about the evolution of bouldering gym startups to get a grip on the popularity of this sport. For this we would like to find out which boulder gym openened (and maybe closed) when and where (info may be worldwide).
This information will become part of our business plan for a new bouldering gym,
thx a lot!

Here's a start at your list:
The Spot - Boulder, CO (mostly bouldering) - perhaps the first commercial gym focused on bouldering
The Circuit - Portland, OR (exclusively bouldering)
Bridges Rock Gym - San Francisco area, CA (exclusively bouldering) Opened 2009
Denver Bouldering Club - Opened late 2009
Slo-op Climbing - San-Luis Obispo, CO - opened 2002
---
Edited to add a couple more I thought of.

The Backyard - Laramie, WY. Bouldering specific, 2004-2006(?) Might've been longer, but it had a fairly short lifetime.
The Source - Laramie, WY. Training specific, small, co-op type gym. 2008-Present
