COURTESY PHOTO

HISTORY: Danny Graul started Black and Read in 1991 at 7821 Wadsworth Blvd. in Arvada, where the store is still located today. When he opened Black and Read, Graul’s employee base consisted of a few of his friends. Today, the store employs 12 people. Many of the employees there today were once Black and Read customers themselves.

The employees are equally nerdy and geeky about everything here — books, records, games, etc. We take pride in that and try to be as helpful as we can with our customers, whether they’re just getting started in something or have been collecting for a long time. It’s fun for us because we’re so into this stuff.”

Staff at Brighton’s Silk & Co. perform a laser treatment on a customer at their Main Street

Brighton location.

SCOTT TAYLOR PHOTO

WHAT THEY DO: Silk & Co. provides unparalleled medical spa treatments in a quaint and elegant atmosphere. Their trained registered nurses and aestheticians are ready to help create an individualized skin care plan for anyone. Each is designed to provide enhancement through nonsurgical alternatives in facial rejuvenation, giving a unique look for all.

Silk & Co. proudly offers services related to

any and all medical spa treatments. Elevate the skin you’re in with offerings like facials, botox, fillers, sexual wellness, tattoo removal, teeth whitening, and more.

Silk & Co. Medical Aesthetics and Spa is a one-stop shop offering everything you need to feel brand new. Our friendly staff are always available to answer any questions you may have and we’re more than thrilled to customize a spa treatment around your individual desires.

HISTORY: After serving clients down from Greeley or up from Northglenn, Silk & Co. is settling into their new location on Brighton’s Main Street.

Owner Pamela Hernandez, formerly a registered nurse at Platte Valley Medical Center, was interested in providing injectable treatments and chose to venture out on her own in 2015. After building her clientele in booths at local shops and seeing how eager

clients were for her services, she moved to her own location.

In her current location, the day spa offers 282 different services — ranging from simple facial treatments and waxing to tattoo removal, spray tanning, laser hair removal and sexual wellness and erectile dysfunction treatments. Clientele is watched over by four registered nurses and four licensed aestheticians in a quiet, relaxed atmosphere.

I think it’s a one-stop shop, and we like for it to look nice but with a hometown feel.

Brighton is a small community and word of mouth is huge, so we want people to feel comfortable.”

La Estrellita has gone through several owners and changes throughout its history.

COURTESY PHOTO

WHAT THEY DO: La Estrellita serves several types of soup with the menudo cooked in a rich, spicy southwestern chile broth with honeycomb tripe hominy and the tortilla soup simmered in a savory, spicy broth with chicken corn, red bell pepper topped with avocado and crisp tortilla strips.

If you prefer a light meal, the fajita salad is served with marinated grilled chicken or steak, onions, bell peppers, tomatoes, tortilla strips, mixed greens, and a choice of dressing.

They also have a variety of appetizers, from spicy chicken wings, a star sampler with nachos supreme, cheese quesadilla, one beef and chicken taquito, and chile con queso. The main menu offers several main dish specialties, the spicy fish tacos served with grilled tilapia, jalapeno salsa, and caramelized onions.

La Estrellita also serves up a variety of tacos dishes such as pork, Indian tacos, and several types of burritos, stuffed sopapillas, and carne asada.

They are open for breakfast serving loaded burritos and huevos rancheros. In addition, offer office gluten-free dishes on request.

HISTORY: La Estrellita opened in Fort Lupton from 1955

By Clarke Reader to 1968 by Salome and Stella Montoya, serving traditional authentic cuisine. Then in 1986, after being laid off from Adams County, their son John opened the restaurant in Brighton in a tiny section with a kitchen where it is today.

In 2011, John’s daughter, Gina Von-Ah, and her husband took over, continuing the tradition and expanding the restaurant with an outdoor patio.

My goal is to grow our employees to be leaders because they don’t get the opportunity to interact like they used to, and I really would like them to tap into their potential.”

Tammy Crosier, Bogey’s West Music store co-owner, stands in front of the store’s checkout counter with more

than 200 ticket stubs from the various concerts she’s attended over the years.

COURTESY PHOTO

BY STACEY CARRUTH

WHAT THEY DO: The store’s owners, Tammy and Steve Crosier, who fell in love at a Bruce Springsteen concert, found joy in sharing their passion for music with the community. For the past 35 years, Bogey’s West Music has remained a hub for music lovers and a place where stories of pain, love, and the power of music are shared and cherished. The store specializes in vintage

vinyl, offering remastered and reproduced editions of classic albums like The Beatles and Led Zeppelin.

Their collection includes both used and new vinyl.

The store goes beyond music, offering a range of items such as tapestries, posters, incense, smoking accessories, stickers, jewelry, and even a revival of cassette tapes. Bogey’s West Music continues to cater to a diverse clientele, attracting customers of all ages, from teenagers to baby boomers.

HISTORY: Bogey’s West Music has a rich history that began with its doors opening on August 8, 1988.

The idea to open a record store in Castle Rock, Colorado came from the realization that there was a lack of such stores in the area. Over the years, they have weathered the challenges posed by streaming, downloading, and the rise of digital media. However, their passion for music and dedication to vinyl records kept them going.

Kids are so stressed out with social media. When they come in here and flip through and smell the vinyl, they leave with a different mindset, a reboot.

We have so many teenagers with very, very little theft. Everyone is so respectful, so kind and so polite.”

Owner Karli Millspaugh

COURTESY PHOTO

Since its establishment in 2013, Curate Mercantile has been dedicated to connecting the community with local makers and vendors, akin to a local version of Etsy combined with the best aspects of craft and vendor fairs.

They remain open every day of the year, offering an extensive selection of distinctive and captivating items that can’t be found elsewhere. They

operate brick-and-mortar stores that rent out smaller spaces to vendors, allowing them to create an authentic store experience tailored to their brand.

They have made significant updates since winning the award in previous years including reorganizing the store layout and enhancing the shopping experience with new sections such as men’s apothecary items, grooming products, reusable shopping bags, and stylish seasonal home decor.

HISTORY: Founded in 2013, Curate Mercantile has a fascinating history rooted in the vibrant community of Centennial. The owner, Karli Millspaugh, began as a vendor herself, specializing in vintage furniture and antiques alongside her mom. After frequenting pop-up markets

and being asked about her store, she sought out spaces like Curate Mercantile. With limited options and long wait lists, finding Curate Mercantile, albeit under a different name, was a special moment. Having started with just a simple 10x10 space, Karli now owns three locations.

Our goal is that you are filled with joy as you walk through the store. What we hear from customers time and time again is that this is a happy place for shoppers, even if you don’t buy anything.”

WHAT THEY DO: When you visit Just Peachy Day Spa, you can expect a luxurious, individualized experience, full of high-quality treatments and excellent customer service. Conveniently located in the heart of downtown Kiowa, Just Peachy Day Spa offers several services to indulge the locals. The business offers tanning services, an infrared sauna, massage therapy, esthetician treatments, hair styling, and pedicures.

They also have a nurse practitioner on staff that offers wellness services

Just Peachy Day Spa will transform how you feel when you walk in the front doors.

Their goal is to make every customer feel a sense of calm, gain a confidence boost, and make sure they feel special. They aim to develop a personal relationship with their clients and go the extra mile to make them feel their very best.

HISTORY: Just Peachy Day Spa is a family-owned business that opened in December 2022.

The Kuhn family is local to Kiowa and has lived in the area for 25 years. The spa is housed in a modern, Southern-style

cottage with a beautiful wraparound porch.

The business is named for the building’s Southern charm and its peach-colored accent. The Kuhn family decided to open Just Peachy Day Spa to bring change to their lives and amenities to the people of Kiowa.

including infusions, hormone therapy, and Botox treatments. Every service provider at Just Peachy Day Spa is an independent contractor and therefore makes their own schedules and appointments.

Being in the heart of Kiowa is phenomenal and a dream! We love the interaction we get with all the local businesses being close by and being a part of the action!”

The Nest is located in the heart of downtown Elizabeth and encompasses a wide range of products and businesses. You can find gifts, antique and vintage products, clothing, women’s accessories, Christian gifts, baby clothing and baby gifts, Jeff Struthers photography, along with locally made soaps, lotions, candles, honey, pottery, and jam. The Nest also offers watercolor classes on Tuesdays and Fridays

and the owners plan to expand their class offerings in the near future.

The class space is located upstairs at their Twigs location. The space is open to the community for those who would like to host a class as well. Upstairs in the Historic 1897 House, you will find a busy hair and nail salon that offers a wide range of services. Hannah, Cassidy, and Michelle do a great job making sure you go out the door looking and feeling fabulous.

HISTORY: Jennifer Fleming and Linda Bulmer have been friends and business partners for 17 years. Fleming and Bulmer started their business in 2019, purchasing the Historic 1897 House for their business in 2020.

The Historic 1897 House was originally built to house railroad workers

at the turn of the century. Elizabeth started as a logging community and the railroad was an integral part of that business. The building has also been home to several families, including the Pembertons, a local family who had 12 children and occupied the home in the mid-20th century.

Main streets are the heart of communities. Collectively we are such a hidden gem in the Denver area.

A place to have community and have a doughnut, have coffee, have lunch, have a beer, get your hair and nails done, find gifts, clothing, and unique items and antiques.”

WHAT THEY DO: Breakfast on Broadway is a cherished neighborhood restaurant that prides itself on providing a straightforward and unpretentious dining experience. Since its inception, the establishment has cultivated a loyal following thanks to its commitment to crafting homemade dishes from scratch. The restaurant’s dedication to quality extends beyond its food, as evidenced by its longstanding and dedicated team of employees, some of whom have been with the restaurant since its very first day.

Adding to the restaurant’s charm is the talented musician Matt Ske-

Notably, Breakfast on Broadway’s bar thrives on weekends, thanks to its exceptional mixologist, who crafts tantalizing cocktails. With a deep appreciation for breakfast as a beloved meal, the owners, Caroline and Val Erpelding, have created a welcoming establishment that they themselves would love to frequent.

HISTORY: Breakfast on Broadway has been delighting patrons since its inception in 2007. It was founded

by Caroline and Val Erpelding.

With Val being a seasoned chef weary of working nights, the

restaurant was born out of a desire to create a breakfast-focused establishment. Val’s childhood memories of visiting breakfast spots and the allure of daytime hours fueled her passion for this concept.

From day one we wanted this to be a neighborhood place. As far as the food goes, we give people what they want.”

BY DEB HURLEY BROBST

HISTORY: Lori Marcin knows a lot about grooming dogs. In the profession for 30 years, Marcin and her team are interested in pampering your pet, whether they need a wash and brush, de-shedding or even if your pooch has had an altercation with a skunk.

She has taken her business even further by becoming a certified pet aesthetician.

A lot of dogs have skin issues in the mountains, Marcin explained, and Soggy Dog is able to help.

This time of year, Marcin can recommend skin treatment in conjunction

with what a veterinarian prescribes to help restore the skin and do away with the dog’s incessant scratching due to allergies and hot spots.

Marcin also offers hydromassage, which can help canines with arthritis, and ozonated water, which

is said to be anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer and anti-fungal.

Marcin believes grooming should be fun for every pup and not a stress-out situation. She and her team work hard to make every experience great for both human and canine.

WHAT THEY DO: Soggy Dog Grooming has landed in its new location in the back of Evergreen Animal Hospital in north Evergreen. Owner Lori Marcin bought the business in November 2020, moved it, and says her clientele has exploded in the two-and-a-half years she’s owned it.

Soggy Dog Grooming is a full-service grooming salon. We believe in treating every dog like one of our own.”

WHAT THEY DO: Walk into Sisters & Company in downtown Evergreen, and your eyes will open wide as you take in everything the store has to offer.

Owner Diana Dargen said people walk through the store multiple times just to see everything – looking up, down, and straight ahead. The shop has such a great atmosphere thanks to the great staff who are passionate about making customers feel welcome and

helping them find the perfect item — creating lasting relationships.

“My employees get along, and you can feel that vibe when you come in,” Dargen said. “It’s a happy, mellow, and not a stressful environment. We have fun with customers.”

In the past 15 years, customer service has taken on a different meaning, and people really appreciate the kind of customer service Sisters & Company offers.

Based on customer feedback, the shop now offers more clothing than it had in the past, and that has been a good fit for the shop and customers alike. If you have an event to go to and don’t want to go down the hill to find an outfit, Sisters & Company is the place for you.

Part of making the store special is attention to the basics such as keeping everything tidy, and making sure clothes are folded and sized.

HISTORY: Sisters & Company has been in downtown Evergreen for more than

By Clarke Reader seven years, and Diana Dargen took over the store in 2021. She called the store a unique eclectic mountain experience, offering everything from women’s clothing to hostess gifts, birthday gifts, small antique furniture and more.

We try to offer more of an experience and a real calming Zen atmosphere when you walk in.”

BY RACHEL LORENZ

WHAT THEY DO: Golden Paws Animal Hospital provides veterinary care for dogs and cats in Golden and beyond, offering preventative care and, when necessary, on-site surgical procedures. The business’s team of 30 employees aims to meet pet owners where they’re at, both figuratively and literally, according to owner and veterinarian Dr. Sam Lane.

These “wonderful, compassionate people” seek to remove barriers to care by working with clients to help them understand price and prioritize what’s important to them regarding their pets.

Lane says he loves the creativity that owning his own business affords him. Holding charity events, supporting schools, and partnering with other local businesses allows the hospital to live out its core values and be part of the Golden community that it calls home.

“It’s the fuel that keeps us going,” he said

Winston, a bernedoodle puppy, and Dr. Sam Lane in Golden Paws’ mobile exam room.

COURTESY PHOTO

HISTORY: Golden Paws Animal Hospital opened its 4,500-square-foot facility off of state Highway 93 in 2016. Three years later, Lane partnered with a pet groomer and launched Grooming @ Clarke Reader Golden Paws about a mile By south of the hospital.

And while the veterinarian practice has always made some house calls, Golden Paws debuted a mobile exam room last fall — allowing the business to physically go to Evergreen, Coal Creek Canyon, or wherever it’s needed by customers and their animals.

Whether it’s in meeting them where they are with what they want to do with their pet, meeting where they are with price, meeting them where they are in a physical location, those are the things we really strive to do.”

FOOD BEVERAGE / WINE BAR

HISTORY: Wine-loving, husband-and-wife team Delinda and Peter Fatianow opened the first Indulge in Highlands Ranch 15 years ago. The Golden location opened in 2012 and a third Indulge was added at The Streets of SouthGlen in Centennial in 2018. Indulge has also been responsible for the food and libations at the clubhouse of BackCountry, a gated community in Highlands Ranch, for nearly a decade.

Indulge Bistro & Wine Bar

1299 Washington Ave., Golden, CO 80401 https://www.indulgewinebar.com 303-277-9991

BY RACHEL LORENZ

WHAT THEY DO: Indulge Bistro & Wine Bar offers upscaling dining for lunch, dinner and happy hour seven days a week across the Front Range. Originally conceived as a tapas bar at its first location, Indulge quickly added larger entrees like steak, salmon

and pasta dishes as well as burgers, specialty salads and artisan flatbreads to its menu.

The establishment also has a kid’s menu, chef specials in the evening and brunch fare on the weekends.

Indulge’s wine list boasts over 60 selections — each available

by the bottle or by the glass, in either 6- or 9-ounce pours. For customers wanting to compare several wines at once, there are a handful of cleverly named wine flights to choose from. The restaurant’s full bar offers beer and cocktails, as well.

Indulge’s 3,800-square-foot space in Golden was designed to be comfortable, chic and fun, says co-owner and former Golden resident Delinda Fatianow. And a patio, recently covered, allows guests to enjoy Colorado’s beautiful weather with their food and drink.

We’re in the service industry so we want everyone to leave being happy — full, happy and feeling good about their experience.”

WHAT THEY DO Metro Denver Farmers Market is a unique non-profit farmers’ market run by five local farmers who have been in business for as long as the market has been operating. These farmers also serve on the board of directors, making the market more like a family where each farmer is a co-owner. The market takes place on Sundays from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. and brings together local merchants, food vendors, and farmers from the local and state area, including regions such

as the Western Slope, Pueblo, and Hudson. Visitors to the market can expect to find a wide variety of fresh produce, flowers, clothing, and other locally made products. One of the unique aspects of the market is that the farmers themselves are present and actively involved, allowing customers to connect directly with the producers.As a non-profit organization, any profits generated by the market are reinvested into supporting the farmers, further contributing to their livelihoods and the sustainability of local agriculture.

HISTORY: As the oldest farmers market in Denver, the Metro Denver Farmers Market has proudly served the community for 46 years. Throughout its history, the market has remained dedicated to maintaining a farmer-centered approach, working diligently to preserve its agricultural roots and uphold the values of local farming.

Metro Denver Farmers Markets would like to thank all of our great customers for the continued support of our local farmers.”

COURTESY PHOTO

For those who have never seen an aesthetician, come in for your first treatment, let me teach you all things about your skin and you will leave with a completely different point of view.”

BY STACEY CARRUTH

WHAT THEY DO: Glow with Me Aesthetics is a comprehensive skincare business that offers a wide range of treatments, from facials to Botox and micro-needling. The owner, Celeste Montoya, is committed to continuous professional development by continuously investing in advanced training to provide clients with the best possible services.

The business primarily relies on word-of-mouth marketing, encouraging clients who have had positive experiences to share their stories. A signif-

icant transformation often occurs, especially with acne clients, as the owner focuses on educating them about the underlying causes of their skin issues. Understanding that all skin issues can be influenced by various factors such as diet, lifestyle, and medication, the business takes a holistic approach to achieve long-term results. For cases that require additional expertise, the owner collaborates with a physician who can provide prescriptions when necessary.

HISTORY: Glow with Me Aesthetics was founded in 2019 by Celeste Montoya, an experienced aesthetician. Previously working at a med spa, the entrepreneur took a leap of faith to

start her own venture. Despite initial fears, the business quickly thrived from simple word-of-mouth marketing, leading to a Best of the Best win in 2022 and it’s status in the community.

Trail details: 3.72 miles of softsurface trail Easy with some hills, 200-foot elevation gain with some grades exceeding 8% in short stretches

HISTORY The Bluffs Regional Park came to Lone Tree as a required open-space amenity to offset ongoing growth that includes highdensity subdivisions and business openings. The

COURTESY PHOTO

Bluffs Regional Park is 253 acres that is literally a backyard to many area residents. There is also 200 feet of elevation gain throughout the trail. There are also two viewpoint trails within the loop.

The beauty of the bluffs is that it’s nestled in a populous community with mountain views, and trails for hiking, biking, and equestrian use. The Bluffs provides breathtaking views in the center of an urban area, making it a unique place to enjoy.”

WHAT THEY DO

2023

Dr. Joseph Arvay is the owner and operator of Spinegeek Chiropractic. His marketing strategy has always been to focus on reminding the public about the safe, natural, and organic approach to health and maintenance that chiropractic care offers.

ENN

HGL

T NOR

Recognizing that many of today’s health issues stem from lifestyle factors, Dr. Arvay offers more than just adjustment services for his patients. He emphasizes five key elements for maintaining a healthy body: mindset, the nervous system, nutrition, exercise and movement, and protection against toxins. Teaching these principles to his patients is a central part of his mission and purpose.

Spinegeek. Dr. Arvay

Spinegeek aims to challenge the notion that health is solely about treating sickness, emphasizing instead the importance of understanding how the brain communicates with the body.

10673 Melody Dr. Northglenn, CO 80234 https://www.spinegeek.com/ 303-457-8080

A little-known fact:w working with babies is common in his office. His philosophy is that health starts the minute that you are born.

MEDICAL/ CHIROPRACTOR

HISTORY Dr. Joseph Arvay has a rich history of serving the greater Denver area with experience as the sole chiropractor for the Colorado Rapids men’s soccer team.

Dr. Joseph Arvay performing an adjustment on an infant patient.

COURTESY PHOTO

When choosing his career, Dr. Arvay knew he wanted to do something to help people in the medical field. Rather than cutting people open, he wanted to do something more natural and preventative. Chiropractic care was the perfect fit and led him to launch his business in November 1992.

Our number one ingredient is love; we love our people and we take care of them.”

E. 19751 Mainstreet R2, Parker 720.851.8559 https://www.indochine-cuisine.com

BY HALEY LENA

WHAT THEY DO: Yume Tran owns Indochine Cuisine, a Vietnamese and Thai restaurant with her husband, and together they serve gluten-free, soy-free, and vegan meals.

Lunch and dinner include starters such as pork dumplings and pork or vegetable crispy rolls. Also served are various noodle and wok-tossed and grilled dishes, coconut curries, gluten-free sushi, gluten-free and dairy-free soups, and salads as well as desserts.

Shortly after starting the business, Yume started using natural ingredients to make sauces – which are

used in the Indochine kitchen. In 2009, she created a sauce production company to bottle and sell. The variety of sauces can be purchased on the company’s website, where one can also find cooking videos and a schedule of Yume’s cooking demonstrations.

In addition, Indochine Cuisine offers takeout and catering for events.

The restaurant is open for lunch Monday through Saturday from 11:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. and dinner from 4:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. Indochine is also open on Sundays for dinner from 4:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.

HISTORY: Technology professionals Clarke Reader Yume TranBy and her husband, Jeff Nghiem, were originally not enamored with cooking at home. However, in 2003, the couple decided owning a restaurant would be interesting and exciting.

The rest is history, as Yume and Jeff have been serving the Parker community for 20 years.

Many of our customers become our friends whose kids are part of our amazing staff who are respectful, honest and hard workers. We love being in this community and are grateful each and every day for the privilege of serving this community.”

Parker Police Department officers welcoming kids into school.

COURTESY OF THE PARKER POLICE DEPARTMENT

BY HALEY LENA

WHAT THEY DO: With a mission to provide community service that reflects the diversity of the community, the Parker Police Department is a full-time service. The administrative division oversees background investigations, crime prevention, evidence management, and internal affairs, and trains volunteers. The investigations division is made up of detectives and includes a crime analyst. The operations division are those most visible to the community, the patrol officers.

In 2015, the department began equipping all officers with body-worn cameras to increase accountability.

Following a community policing approach, the

department works with the community and offers classes such as the Citizen’s Police Academy and the Teen Police Academy.

The website offers residents a list of community resources and victims and public services.

Citizens file a traffic complaint, report a crime, and request a report using the department’s website.

In addition, citizens can sign up to be notified of upcoming classes and events, department involvement, and general news about the department and about public safety.

The Parker Police Department also provides emergency preparedness information and classes.

HISTORY: The Parker Police Department managed the streets in 1983 on a part-time basis. The department was originally headquartered in the old Parker Community Center on Mainstreet. In 1988, the headquarters moved to what is currently Town Hall on Mainstreet, then to Parker Square Drive in 1994, and to where it is now since 2010. The department hit a major milestone in 2013 when it was state and nationally-accredited.

The Parker Police Department is very grateful to be recognized as the Best Government Agency in the Town of Parker, a town with many incredible government agencies. This award wouldn’t be possible without our staff’s dedication to the safety of our community and our partnership with Parker’s residents.”

Bad Hatchet has created a unique experience that combines bowling with dart throwing.

COURTESY PHOTO

BY STACEY CARRUTH

WHAT THEY DO The Bad Hatchet is an innovative business that offers a unique and thrilling activity that combines the elements of bowling and dart throwing. Catering to individuals seeking an enjoyable time, they focus on creating an environment where participants can learn and have fun. No tournaments or leagues are involved.

Coaches are available to provide free one-onone lessons, ensuring that participants grasp the technique and achieve precision in hitting

their target.

A variety of exciting games such as Tic-Tac-Toe, Around the World, 21, and Elimination are offered. Alongside ax throwing, Bad Hatchet fosters a strong social aspect. The recent addition of a bar provides a relaxing space for patrons to unwind.

The company’s commitment to safety and compliance has been well received, as local authorities express surprise at the lack of incidents.

HISTORY After retiring from law enforcement, Westminster native Justin Sheets discovered the thrill of ax-throwing venues and saw a potential business opportunity. After discussing the idea with friends, they decided to defy the odds and open their doors in June 2021 despite the challenging times of the COVID-19 pandemic. The key to their success was in designing their venue with COVID-19 restrictions in mind. The layout naturally facilitates social distancing, with groups staying within their designated lanes.

“By the time they’re done, it’s rare that patrons are not getting the ax to stick.”

Additionally, Korey is an active member of the city council and collaborates extensively with local elementary schools by raising funds for their P.E. programs along with generously offering free classes at community events.
