Santa’s Workshop

T

he holidays can often be a stressful time for military families, especially for those separated from their family and friends who live in other states.

Those looking to brighten their holiday cheer and introduce activities to their immediate families can rest assured there are bountiful opportunities available for families with young children; most of which are free or inexpensive.

Santa’s Workshop at the North Pole, a Christmas-themed amusement park, is open Thursday-Monday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. until Christmas Eve, when it closes for the season at 4 p.m. Admission tickets are $17 for military per person, children over 10 must have their own military ID card to receive the military rate. The park

is off the Pikes Peak Highway, accessed at the town of Cascade on Highway 24 west.

Downtown Museum activities

Colorado Springs Pioneers Museum, 215 S. Tejon St., has a free family fun day Dec. 3 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., for all ages. There’ll be a variety of activities including a magic show, face painting and balloon art. Parking is available for $1 at the city administration parking garage at Nevada and Colorado Avenues. This is the same day as the Festival of Lights Parade; and staff plan to have hot cocoa and cookies available.

Breakfast with Santa

A free breakfast with Santa for all military-affiliated people and their families is slated from 9 a.m. to 10:30 and 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Dec. 3 at the Southwest YMCA.

Find the perfect, local gift

By Brian Hagberg CSMNG Staff reporter

Colorado is known for many things; great skiing, beautiful fall foliage, abundant wildlife, majestic mountains and great food just to name a few.

It can be hard to convey Colorado’s assets to someone who isn’t able to visit frequently, and can be even more difficult to find the perfect holiday gift that conveys — “This is Colorado.”

Those looking for a gift with both local flare and distincition as Colorado might want to take a stroll down Tejon Street in Colorado Springs. Interspersed with the bars and restaurants are a number of locally owned businesses specializing in selling pieces of Colorado.

“It can be hard sometimes because our family is all out of state,” said James Hodges, who lives in Peyton. “We try to find things they like, but also say something about us or the area as well.”

The Savory Spice Shop offers patrons an opportunity to give spice blends related to multiple parts of the state.

“Each store has its own seasonings,” said Pam Braverman, who has been with the Colorado Springs franchise since it opened in 2009. “We recently created the Seven Falls Salsa Blend and Garden of the Gods Pizza Sprinkle. You can only get those blends here.”

She said the new blends were created after multiple requests for local salsa and pizza blends.

The original Savory Spice Shop opened in Denver in 2004. Since then, owner-operated franchises have opened in 16 states.

“It was always meant to be a mom-and-pop shop,” Braverman said.

Each spice is blended and bottled in house to keep the ingredients as fresh as possible.

“We put all the ingredients together and hand blend them with a scoop. Then we bottle them right here,” Braverman said.

While people can order many of the blends online, the local spices can only be shipped from the Colorado Springs location.

“Gifts are taken right off the shelves in our store,” Braverman said. “We’re shipping every day.”

Hodges said his family received Savory Spices as gifts this year after he sampled some of the blends.

“We tried it one night and thought, ‘This is amazing,’” he said. “We knew right away our parents would love something like it.”

Many choices for tech gifts this holiday season Apple MacBook Pro laptops with Touch Bar and Microsoft Surface tablets should all see good demand this season

By Dave Smith CSMNG reporter

Getting one’s hands on a Classic Nintendo NES for that technophile on the Christmas list may be nearly impossible, but have no fear. There are many other hot tech items available that will spread joy this gift-giving season.

The list of highly desirable tech gear and gadgets for 2016 is a blend of the familiar and the trendy. Great options for putting technology under the tree and in the stockings for even the most difficult to buy for are out there, and it doesn’t take long to discover the epic gift.

Should a guide be needed to help navigate the process, the editors of tech hub CNET.com have a list of their top tech gift choices to help. A number of audio items appear on the list, where wireless is king this year. Wireless speakers and headphones dominate the list, so where uncertainty abounds one of these should be more than a safe choice.

“The Beats, Series 3, will be pretty big when we get them in,” said Nick Martinez, Power Zone supervisor of the Fort Carson Main Exchange. “I’ve already had a lot of people asking about them.”

Smartwatches are going to be hot again. The CNET list is full of them, and local stores expect them to surpass 2015 sales, which were between nine and 30 million units depend-

ing upon the report.

“Now smart watches are what everybody is looking for,” said LaCrystal Andrews, Power Zone supervisor of the Peterson Air Force Base Exchange.

Martinez said all brands are popular, including Fitbit, Garmin and Samsung. The Apple Watch is still popular and is available online through the Exchange, he said.

According to Popular Mechanics, TVs are traditionally hot sellers and 2016 will see the trend continue.

Andrews said the ultra-high definition 4K televisions are expected to be on the lists of many shoppers this season.

The availability of true 10-bit panels on TVs this year will keep sales high as well, Martinez said. With the popularity of TVs, Andrews said related items, such as sound bars, will be steady sellers this season, too.

Play Station 4 Pro consoles are doing well already, said Martinez. Andrews said those systems, as well as the Xbox One in both the 500 gigabyte and 1 terabyte configurations, are drawing pre-Black Friday consumer interest.

“They’ve been out a while, but people still want them,” said Andrews.

The Classic NES is another console people still want, and badly.

Martinez said his store received its shipment of 50 consoles and they were sold out in a single day. The demand for the old-school consoles has taken gamers by storm, and

similar results occurred across the country. The systems are already showing up on all of the usual online sites selling for many times the retail price. But, there may still be hope for local shoppers.

“We may get ours in before Black Friday,” Andrews said.

“If we do, we will limit purchases to one per customer to give everybody a chance.”

Martinez said it is possible, but not likely that any more NES systems will become available at Fort Carson before Christmas.

Go Pro cameras, Apple MacBook Pro laptops with Touch Bar and Microsoft Surface tablets should all see good demand this season as well.

One hot tech item from last year that is not showing up on anyone’s list are drones, the remotely operated aircraft that took the nation by storm in 2015.

Martinez said they are not drawing much attention, and there is only one on CNET’s extensive editor’s list.

“They are just not that popular this year,” Martinez said.

If any of the suggestion or ideas from these sources seem to miss the mark, try an online retailer.

ThinkGeek.com offers things like a Back to the Future Flux Capacitor USB car chargers for mobile devices, fur lined headphones, or even a Bluetooth turntable for the nerd techie on your list.

Willy’s brings a bit of Britain to Springs

By Helen Robinson CSBJ staff reporter

Seven months ago, Maria Uribe became the second owner of Willy’s British Emporium — as she puts it, she “came in to buy chocolate, ended up buying a shop.”

Maria and her husband Rick took over the Old Colorado City store — which sells

British groceries, gifts and treats, and boasts the English Rose Tea Room — from founders Sue and Peter Holdman in March, just before they moved back to Florida.

It was a natural fit for Maria, who was born in Surrey, outside London, and grew up in seaside Brighton, Sussex. She and Rick already owned Another Man’s Treasure furniture consignment store, and she’d been

coming to Willy’s for years to stock up on the British staples she missed.

“I remember the first time I came in here I was delighted — I went nuts, I was just grabbing everything off the shelves because it’s so hard to find this stuff,” she said.

It’s a place to make homesick British hearts sing — Jammie Dodgers, Hobnobs, Jaffa Cakes, steak-and-ale pies, jelly babies, pear

drops, Twirls, Crunchies, kippers, haddock fillets, haggis, chicken curry pies, sausage rolls, mushy peas, custard powder, bourbon creams, lemon curd, golden syrup, Marmite and shelf after shelf of English, Irish and Welsh teas.

“People are surprised at the variety. It’s See British page 12

Zeezo’s Location: 112 N. Tejon St. Established: 1974 Employees: 16; 30+ part-time through Halloween Photo by Helen Robinson

Mark and Jessica Modeer spent the last few years building a website for online sales — a first for the local costume shop — but still relies on local visitors to the store.

Contact: zeezos.com; 633-2571

Zeezo’s provides costumes for every occasion

By Helen Robinson CSBJ staff reporter

Zeezo’s co-owner Mark Modeer calls his downtown costume store “my childhood run amok” — but the fun façade rests on a team that has navigated rapid growth and sudden change, and weathered its share of storms.

The dramatic explosion of online sales, shifts in popular culture, national tragedies and even television shows have all impacted the costume industry, and Zeezo’s along with it. Along the way, Zeezo’s has constantly adapted to become a Colorado Springs mainstay and small business success story.

Zeezo’s wasn’t always Zeezo’s. In fact, Mark’s aunt bought his first Stein’s Theatrical Make-up Kit from The Stage

Door — a costume shop on the very spot where Zeezo’s now stands — when he was in second grade. Zeezo’s bought out The Stage Door in 1978, and Mark got his first job there at age 13.

“I kept showing up at Zeezo’s after I bought everything, so they eventually put Windex in my hand and made me clean the counters,” he said. “I got fired regularly, for being a goofy kid. I would never have hired me.”

Mark worked there on and off for years, alternating with stints as a magician, until he bought the store in 1993.

“I thought I’d just run it for two or three years, turn it around and sell it,” he said.

“That was my story for years, until we decided we were going to have kids and keep the shop.”

Free Cosmetic Consultation & Military Discount

Zeezo’s was then in the majestic building on Bijou Street. Mark and his wife Jessica, who came on board in 1995, continued to expand the business. They outgrew several buildings before settling at their North Tejon location three years ago.

The 21,000-square-foot site tripled Zeezo’s space, and the Modeers have not yet finished expanding. Their online store is finally complete after two years of design and data entry, and this month Zeezo’s will launch online costume rentals in time for Halloween.

“He dreams it and I manage it, is how it happens,” Jessica said. “We carry over 20,000 different individual items, so getting all that on a website and monitoring it is a challenge. The website is finally at a place where we’re happy with it.”

The explosion of online sales irrevocably changed the landscape of costume retail early this century, but the Modeers never saw it as a death knell for brick-and-mortar stores like their own. While online sales are currently “just a couple of percent” of Zeezo’s business, Mark said the website is invaluable for boosting local sales.

“We’re getting over 250 unique hits a day,” he said. “My advice to local businesses is your local website is more important than you realize. Online is everything your Yellow Pages used to be. People carry their smartphones, they’re on Yelp, Google, and if you don’t have a presence there, they don’t know to drive across town and see you.

There is no shortage of characters surrounding James and Garnetta Bevins of Heroes Hub, a Westside comic book, merchandise and apparel shop.

Comic shop’s wares not of this world

By Bryan Grossman CSBJ staff reporter

James Bevins’ alter super ego is the Green Lantern. His wife, Garnetta, leans toward Wonder Woman.

By day the couple owns Heroes Hub, a corner-spot comic shop in Old Colorado City. But by night — well … they lock it up and go home. Even superheroes make time for dinner with their kids.

The merch

James hails from Salt Lake City, Utah, while Garnetta is from Louisiana. He was a mechanic in the Army and stationed in

Colorado Springs, but got out of the military following shoulder injuries and surgery.

The couple was turning their basement into a theater room, but they were unable to find the memorabilia they wanted to complete the look.

“We had to go to several different places, and that gave us the idea to open a shop,” James said. “At first we weren’t even going to carry comics. We just wanted to do merchandise and apparel. But there weren’t any comic book shops on this side of town, so we used my medical pension and opened up.”

Heroes Hub offers graphic novel fans plenty of options. Racks of comics make up a significant portion of the store, but pop culture enthusiasts can also sign up

for subscription services managed by the Bevinses.

“It never hits the shelf,” James said of those orders. “It goes into a filing cabinet and customers can come pick it up. If they subscribe, they also get protective sleeves for free, and those usually cost extra.”

Also available for sale are T-shirts, keychains, mugs and belts emblazoned with the images of heroes and villains from the DC, Marvel and Star Wars (as well as many other) alternate universes.

Recently Heroes Hub began offering custom printed vinyl decals and T-shirts, and James just began recording a podcast last week concerning all things pop culture.

since moving from their original location.

Three months ago, the couple signed a lease on a larger, spot that sits two doors down from their previous incarnation.

The space on the west end of Old Colorado City was actually cheaper than a lot of other spaces they considered, according to the Bevinses.

“That was kind of weird because this is a tourist spot and you’d think it would be more expensive,” James said.

To control startup costs, they looked on Craigslist for secondhand equipment from stores that were going out of business.

Rocky Mountain Bee Supply Founded: 2016 Employees: 1 full-time; 1 part-time Location: 790 Hwy. 105, Palmer Lake Contact: rockymountainbeesupply.com

Monument residents Leonard and Dolly Rickerman have turned Dolly’s childhood passion into a retail business in Palmer Lake.

Palmer Lake bee store creates buzz

By Bryan Grossman CSBJ staff reporter

Leonard and Dolly Rickerman just want their BeeTV. “It’s so relaxing,” said Dolly, who owns a 20-hive apiary with her husband Leonard. The two also own and operate the newly opened Rocky Mountain Bee Supply in Palmer Lake.

“We try to get out to our hives every week. … I can get lost in there. I can sit there all day and watch my BeeTV. I forgot to pick up my son from wrestling practice once because I was so engrossed in it.”

“I can get lost in there. I can sit there all day and watch my BeeTV.”

HONEY, PLEASE

Leonard is a native of Cuba, N.M. He met Dolly while attending college in her home state of Texas. The two married, Leonard promptly joined the Army and, after 20 years and a final assignment at Peterson Air Force Base, the couple and their two sons settled down in Monument where they’ve lived for the past decade. Five years ago, they decided to start their own apiary.

“My granddad kept bees for more than 30 years in Texas,” Dolly said. “I have really fond memories of him going and robbing the hive. I couldn’t go out there or my grandma

decided that when she grew up, she’d have bees of her own.

When they were trying to set up their own apiary, the couple discovered a need for a beekeeper supply store in the Pikes Peak region.

“Over the last few years, we’ve hit a wave of national interest in beekeeping,” Leonard said. “We were brand new to this only a few years back, and we’ve been through the

Due to supply issues of their own, Dolly contacted some larger companies on the East Coast and was eventually approved for a distributorship.

“That was a prayer answered,” Leonard said. “Once we got that approval, it was light-our-hair-on-fire time to set up this little store. It went from concept to grand opening between January and March. We’ve had a phenomenal reception from everybody.”

The shop is set up to provide any beginner beekeeper with everything needed to get started.

A hive alone will cost about $280, Leonard said, and hives differ depending on the beekeeper’s intent — whether honey, pollination or simply to help revitalize the depressed bee population.

For between $400 and $500, one can be “completely outfitted and up and running as a beekeeper,” Leonard said.

corner, business has improved thanks to increased visibility.

“When tourists come to this light [at South 27th Street and Colorado Avenue], they normally don’t cross the street in this direction,” James said. “They think that this is the end of the line, even though there’s more down here.

“We have this window space and people can see we’re here now. It’s helped a lot. And it’s a bigger space, and we get new comics every Wednesday, so the collection is rapidly growing. We definitely need room for them.”

Geeking out

In order to extend business beyond the tourist season, Heroes Hub aims to host monthly events, including free comic book days. For instance, the shop organized a Batman event, and sponsors cosplay (costume play) contests with prizes for the winners.

And while every other movie release lately seems to have a comic connection, they don’t necessarily boost sales.

“The height of superheroes was probably about two years ago,” Garnetta said. “I’m afraid, over time, the market might become too flooded.”

But comic convention attendance is still up, she explained, adding Colorado Springs has a “ton of comic book events” every year.

Online retail, however, appears to be the kryptonite to their brick-and-mortar business.

Garnetta said, “but we opened a store because a lot of times, when someone buys a collectible, they want to see it. You could get something online that’s been damaged and then you have to send it back and wait for something else to come in, if they even have it in stock.

“It could be a limited edition item,” she continued, “and if it’s damaged, there’s a great chance you can’t get another one.”

As to whether most of their customers are casual enthusiasts or hardcore collectors, Garnetta said it’s a mix.

“We get a wide variety,” she said. “We might get someone in because they heard about the store and they want to buy something for their kid, or for their son who is 30.”

James agreed.

“Sometimes it’s the kids bringing in the parents, or the other way around, where it’s the dad who is geeking out in front of his kid,” James said.

He said the profiles of graphic novel enthusiasts are so varied because there are so many storylines.

“You remember the movie ‘Big Trouble in Little China’? They have a graphic novel series based on that.”

While he’s been a fan of the characters since childhood, James said it’s only been within the past six months that he’s read his first graphic novel.

“I’ve always loved the stories, and I grew up watching Spiderman and X-Men. I just never read the comics,” he said. “But I’ve recently started. You have to know what you’re selling, right? People laugh that I own a comic book shop, but I’m not an encyclopedia.”

Troy Juth has built his business on his passion for scuba diving, bringing water sports training to Colorado Springs.

Surfing in Colorado? Yes, you can

By Helen Robinson CSBJ staff reporter

If you want to surf — yes, surf — in Colorado, Troy Juth and his team can show you where. If you want to learn to scuba dive in Colorado Springs, they can show you how.

The thousand-odd miles between the Front Range and the nearest ocean are no barrier to the popularity of water sports here — not just the whitewater sports you’d expect, but deep-water sports like diving.

Juth, co-owner and founder of Underwater Connection, said Colorado has one of the highest per-capita rates of certified divers in the United States.

“There are a few reasons,” he said. “I think people that live here are more active and more adventurous. Then when we travel — we have the mountains here, but we don’t have the ocean — we head for the ocean. It’s the ideal thing to do on vacation.”

UWC staff work to ensure everyone who makes their home near the mountains can be at home in the water too.

For 27 years, UWC has offered scuba diving lessons: open water, advanced, rescue diver, specialty courses and professional qualifications. Two years ago, the range grew to include kayak, stand-up paddle board and swimming lessons.

The expansion came when UWC left its old building on Academy Boulevard in June 2014, opening a custombuilt, 12,000-square-foot facility just off I-25 at Garden of the Gods Road.

“We were pretty much solely scuba at the old location,” Juth said. “I wanted to be a full aquatic center, so I had all that in mind when we were designing. We’re the only dive shop that’s opened up here offering instruction and sales in whitewater and touring kayak, swimming, stand-up paddle boarding.”

UWC is now the largest diving facility in Colorado and boasts the deepest scuba pool in the state.

Juth said he added other sports based on the needs he saw.

“Swimming was a natural fit,” Juth said, “and we’ve got some of the best whitewater kayaking in the country here, but there’s no place to learn. I have friends that say, ‘Man, it would be cool to do that!’ but you don’t just grab a boat and go jump on the river. You’d make the news that night — and not in a good way. There was a need for a facility where you could learn to do it safely.

“Stand-up paddle boarding is kind of new, and it reminds me of how snowboarding started. People thought that was a fad but now you go to the mountain and half the people are on snowboards. Stand-up paddle boarding is like that

— for every boat we sell, we sell 10 stand-up paddle boards, and every weekend my whole rental fleet is out.”

Whitewater kayaking, Juth said, “is a different animal.

It takes a special person to go down whitewater.”

UWC’s whitewater expert is Scott Holmberg, a retired Special Forces, ACA Class 4 whitewater kayak instructor and certified stand-up paddle board instructor. He spends most days out on Colorado’s lakes and rivers, guiding UWC customers.

Scuba course director Doug Beardslee holds scuba diving’s highest qualifications, is certified to train instructors and handles UWC’s military programs.

“I think people that live here are more active and more adventurous.”

—Troy Juth

“We’re approved by the VA so veterans can use their benefits to qualify all the way to scuba instructor,” Juth said. “Their benefits pay for all their lessons, books, fees, their scuba equipment.

“We also run the program for cadets at the Air Force Academy. They have a scuba program there, but to get certified, they come to us.”

He also brings in other experts.“My expertise is scuba, so I brought in other experts,” Juth said. “In the beginning, I taught all the time because I had to — I was balancing trying to run the business and teach. I don’t need to do that anymore. My focus is running and expanding and growing the business.”

As well as offering lessons, equipment sales and rentals, UWC runs dive trips all over the world.

“We handle the ground, the diving, the air,” Juth said.

“I just had 38 people come back from Curaçao. They just come in and pay, and we say, ‘Here’s your airline ticket, your diving, your lodging, your meals, all your drinks.’

We have trips out of the country about every other month.”

Online sales are next. After 18 months of planning, Juth and his team hope to go live with an online store Sept. 1.

It is aimed less at UWC’s existing customers and more at divers without physical access to equipment.

“The bulk of our customers still want to come in for the vast knowledge we have of the product — being able to touch it and see if it fits correctly, because with almost everything we have fit is critical. They can try it in our pool, and if they don’t like it for whatever reason — even ‘It clashes with my bathing suit’ — they can continue to exchange it until they’re satisfied.

“But there are a lot of divers around the world who don’t have a facility like this where they can walk in and find a wide selection of some of the best dive equipment available.

My market’s Kansas, Nebraska, where you have divers but they don’t have a dive shop. I’m not competing in [Florida] — I can hit a 9-iron from dive shop to dive shop from Key West to Key Largo.”

Juth hadn’t planned to build a career on diving.

He took scuba diving lessons at 21, while he was “between colleges,” and ended up working at the Colorado Springs Scuba Center, long since closed. After another valiant attempt to become as interested in college as he was in diving, Juth left UCCS and returned to the dive shop.

Then a customer approached him with the idea of opening a store.

“He said ‘You can run it, I don’t have the expertise,’ so he’s a silent partner with a passion for diving, and we’ve been partners ever since,” Juth said. “Not one hiccup in 27 years.”

For their first facility, the pair acquired a building that had been an old Godfather’s Pizza Parlor.

“The kitchen was there, even the salad bar was still there — we gutted that building, dug a hole, built the pool,” Juth recalled.

“People thought we were crazy. But at the time we were the only facility in town with a pool inside. Everybody else had to travel around renting different pools, so we had an edge on the competition.”

At the new facility, the 15-foot-deep indoor pool maintains a comfortable 88 degrees and an ambient room temperature of 90 degrees year-round. That means the classes and business volume fluctuate very little between seasons .

And can you really surf in Colorado? Yes, you can.

“When we run in the Arkansas River, [white water] feature 3 is this great surfing feature. You’ll have a half a dozen people with surfboards and they’ll jump in below that feature — they’re right there in the eddy and they’ll just surf,” Juth said.

“Surfing in Colorado.”

Mainstay From page 8 it’s because they need something — and they have to know you have what they want.

“So right now our huge website is already completely worth it. If it never grows on a national basis, I will not regret having built it, because it fuels local sales. That’s huge for us.”

Customers still want to touch and try on costumes, Mark said, and the website shows them where they’ll want to do that. In addition, he and Jessica work the sales floor, talk to customers and constantly respond to feedback.

“I think it really hurts the larger chains that try to do costuming, that their person doing the buying is not interacting with customers,” Mark said. “They know they have a SKU and a category they need to fill, but that doesn’t mean they know what the category needs. It doesn’t directly translate.”

Online costume purchases can lead to similar letdowns.

“Customers come in all the time and show us what they wanted, the picture of what they ordered online and it is not the same product. It is chronic, and I don’t even know if it’s malicious,” Mark said. “They don’t understand the different grades that costumes come in, and they don’t know what they’re selling because they are not costumers. People are disappointed regularly.”

The Modeers have built a staff of performing artists, students and makeup artists who bring experience and enthu-

In addition to protective gear, a smoker and some basic hive accoutrements, education is perhaps the most important tool, according to the Rickermans.

Since they are relatively new to the hobby, the couple passes on advanced questions to more seasoned keepers in the area. But the Rickermans provide basic beekeeping instruction and are creating classes for more advanced keepers, to include raising queens,

“We don’t have an average customer or an average purchase.”

— Jessica Modeer siasm to the store.

“They’re excited to be here, they’re interested and busy — and that adds vibrance,” Jessica said.

“We don’t have an average customer or an average purchase. If we have, say, a single parent who can only spend $15 on their kid’s costume, they will find things for them on the clearance rack. If we have someone who wants to spend $500, they will find something for them too — and they will treat both of those customers the same.”

Flexibility has been a big drawing card for Zeezo’s employees, who value the fact that the Modeers are committed to working around their hectic schedules. This flexibility has

as well as different management techniques for different hives.

“We did our homework; we read about them; we watched videos and we went to bee school with the Pikes Peak Beekeepers Association,” Dolly said of their own early experience. “If we can’t answer questions, we try and link people with experts out there, all who are within this area. We’ve created an information hub for backyard beekeepers.”

BUSY AS ... YOU KNOW

The business model adapts to the seasons, according to Leonard. Customers order bees in the dead of winter and start setting up their hives as spring arrives. The couple

helped Zeezo’s respond quickly and successfully to curveballs that have hit small costume shops hard since 2000.

“A lot of Halloween stores were just not quick to adapt after 9/11 and the D.C. sniper,” Jessica said. “Those were bad years, and we took a painful hit after 9/11 — we didn’t correct course and cut hours fast enough. Even old-timers who’d been in the business for years were looking at changing. But when the recession came we were able to respond much more quickly.”

Cultural shifts had been positive for Zeezo’s, making yearround costuming a reality.

“Popular culture has shifted,” Mark said. “Pre-2000 there were no warrior runs, no mud dashes, no themed light-up bike rides — and there were murder mysteries, but the past 15 years is when they’ve really gone all-out.” “[The rise of online sales] was a painful shift, but I’ll take that transition any day,” Jessica said. “Our year-round sales are definitely more stable and predictable.”

Zeezo’s is also buoyed by Colorado Springs’ “extremely active and creative arts community” and by solid relationships with the military, religious and school communities.

Zeezo’s is the go-to store for gospel productions, theater departments run by military family services, large school productions, disaster simulations and mission trips, Jessica said.

“We became the big store here, so we now pull out of Denver which is very fortunate,” Mark said. “If there’s a big production that needs theater makeup services and shopping in one stop, we probably outdo anyone in Denver.”

helps those who want honey to get the right supplies in early summer, and they make house calls and extract honey for customers as fall approaches. Around the holidays, Rocky Mountain Bee Supply sells honey and crafting items, like beeswax for soap and candles.

As for the bees themselves, Rocky Mountain Bee Supply provides small starter kits that include a queen. The bees are bred by Dann Purvis, a local who is known worldwide for his bees, Leonard said, adding Purvis is the only beekeeper to have patented a bee.

The couple is optimistic about the potential of their business because the rise in

beekeeping’s popularity has coincided with an increased interest in self-sufficiency and urban homesteading, Dolly said. Bees are incredible insects to watch, providing a side benefit for beekeepers, Leonard added.

“A colony of bees is a super-organism,” he said. “It’s amazing how elegant they are and how they communicate. … There’s so much to learn.”

Dolly said bees can use all the help they can get.

“People say bringing back the bee population isn’t going to happen with a commercial beekeeper and thousands of hives,” she said.

“It will be because of thousands of backyard beekeepers.”
