Small Business Saturday

Small Business Saturday is November 28 but we enjoy supporting locally owned small businesses all year long and if there was ever a year to support your local businesses, 2020 IS THAT YEAR! Here are a few of our favorites:

 

Whether you want to master the art of cooking, browse and purchase authentic French ingredients, or just stop in for a pastry, The French Kitchen Culinary Center at Academy and Flintridge doesn’t disappoint. https://www.facebook.com/tfkcc

 

Luigi’s Restaurant, just south of downtown, has been serving classic Italian cooking since 1958. Jerry loves the tortellacci and Liz is a fan of the Luigi’s Special Pizza. https://www.facebook.com/luigiscoloradosprings

 

We love to shop at Frayla Boutique, a little south of downtown, because they sell women’s clothing and gifts with a purpose and we always find something unique. https://www.facebook.com/Fraylaboutique

 

We can’t say enough about Spencers Produce, Lawn and Garden Centers. During the summer months, we are stopping in several times a week to pick up Colorado produce at its freshest. In the spring and fall, it’s planting time and the holidays wouldn’t be complete without a trip Spencer’s to choose the perfect tree, wreath or poinsettia and visit to their old-fashioned candy room. Spencer’s is located just south of Motor City. https://www.facebook.com/spencerslawnandgarden

 

Whether you need a repair or are looking for something new, a visit to Knights Watch Repair in downtown Colorado Springs is like a trip back in time.  https://www.facebook.com/The-Knight-Watch-Jewelry-Co-159087027456957/

 

abaTina Boutique on 8th Street offers a terrific selection of gifts for everyone on your list. The friendly staff will help you select the perfect item and they will gift-wrap it while you wait.  https://www.facebook.com/abaTina.abaTinaKids

 

Johannes Hunter Jewelers at University Village is our jeweler of choice plus we love visiting with the family who owns in when we go in. They offer jewelry collections for every occasion or handle repairs expertly. https://www.facebook.com/JHJewelers

 

Summerland Gardens offers a unique selection of houseplants and succulents as well as perennials, organic herbs and vegetable starts during the planting months. They have beautiful pots and gifts year-round and the store gets transformed into a magical space for the holidays.  https://www.facebook.com/summerlandgardens

 

Ranch Foods Direct sells high-quality naturally raised beef and other products from small farmers and artisanal food producers from throughout the region. Meat cuts are individually packaged and clearly marked so consumers know exactly what they are buying.  https://www.facebook.com/RanchFoodsDirect

 

We love wine and The Wine Gallery, located on Delmonico in the northwest part of town has an excellent selection. They also offer wine tastings and specials throughout the month.  https://www.facebook.com/The-Wine-Gallery-Gourmet-597172543674403

 

Small business need a little help from time to time and we highly recommend The Branch to help with you marketing needs. They are a full-service advertising solutions company focusing on brand awareness, communications and sales but more importantly, they are a small business, too, so they understand the challenges we face and therefore can provide workable solutions. https://www.facebook.com/TheBranchCompany
