Loveland combines coffee and ceramics

By on Thursday, April 26th, 2012 | 1 Comment

I got a note from my good friend, fellow writers and part of Fred’s Used Websites  (Maryjo Morgan) about an event happening in Loveland.  It sounds interesting.

I like the idea because it looks like two local businesses are doing some comarketing and promotion.  We need more of this.

Here is the note she got from Tom Helm, the owner of Brewsworthy coffee.  Brewsworthy-a Loveland coffee rooster

My name is Tom Helm, and I am a Loveland coffee roaster.

Next Friday, April 27, I am partnering with a local ceramicist for a night of coffee tasting and education about pottery making, coffee roasting, and various coffee brewing methods. It is located at Q&C Studios, 115 W. 2nd St., 80537, from 6-9 pm.

This event is free to the public, and while items will be available for sale, this event is intended for education and fun.

Light hors d’oeuvres will be served.

Thanks,

Tom Helm

Roaster, Brewsworthy Coffee

Loveland business sends an S.O.S.

By on Thursday, April 26th, 2012 | 1 Comment

Loveland businesses are coming and going as evidenced by the posts on bobsheartbeats.com
I ready about another Loveland downtown (I still am politicing to call it DoLo) seems to need some assistance.

Here is what is posted on Merchant Voyage Facebook page:

S.O.S.!!! Hello to all of my loyal facebook fans! Merchant Voyage is in trouble, and while it may not be the most appropriate thing to talk about, I have to. We desperately need to raise money by May 1st to pay some back rent or we may have to leave. I so don’t want to leave my shop and my friends. I love coming here everyday to be creative and interact with all of you. Please help us in any way that you can. If you can just help us get the word out or think of some fund raising ideas, small donations, anything will help! Thank you again for your love, help, and support. When you come in for a visit, come up to the counter and whisper “S.O.S.” and receive 20% off your entire purchase excluding a few things on consignment. Thank you again!

When I talked to Mary at Merchant Voyage (246 E. 4th Street, Loveland) she said business declined last year. This caused the business to get behind in their rent.  Things have picked up, but not fast enough she says.  She credits some of the other new businesses on Fourth Street for the latest upswing.

As she said on her Facebook page, Merchant Voyage is offering 20 percent discount on non-consignment items. Tell her wordsbybob sent  you there so she knows Lovelanders read my blog.
I hate to see any business struggle.  This is especially true of a locally-owned one.  Whenever possible, I try to go to local restaurants, coffee shops, book stores, etc.

Bagels roll into Loveland

By on Tuesday, March 13th, 2012 | 5 Comments

Loveland will soon have a new bagel/coffee shop.  It seems Einstien Bros. bagel shop is going to come to north Loveland. The location for the new business is Hiway 287 and 29th Street.

You may remember until a couple of weeks ago, this was a hot tub/spa retail store.

Thanks to #loveland’s beer evangelist for sharing this info.  Hey Russell–maybe you should have some bagels to go along with the pretzels at your tasting room?

Loveland store closed

By on Friday, March 9th, 2012 | No Comments

Well, technically it is a Johnstown restaurant that closed.  We are taking the Spicy Pickle located at Hiway 34 and I-25 by Bonefish, etc.  One of my “beeps” told me today that the local sandwich shop has closed. 
Funny, because I parked right next door to it yesterday at the Verizon store to carpool to UNC in Greeley to go to the E-Challenge event. I did not notice that the place had shut down.  

I do remember reading that the Spicy Pickle was closing many of its locations, but did not see that the NoCo sandwich shop was among them.

ANYTHING ELSE CLOSE THAT I MISSED?

Ok Loveland.  A couple of  my faithful readers (beeps) have asked about the activiity in front of Lowe’s on East Eisenhower.  I now have the anwer for you.  The freestanding building close to Hiway 34 is going to be a Firestone Auto shop. 
Now that the exterior is almost done  you can see the big bay doors. 

 It there a need for another auto shop/tire store in Loveland?
