Colo Spr Shootin Den Re-Opening Soon

[theGinsue]

I am pleased to be able to make the announcement that the Shootin' Den will be re-opening in Colorado Springs.
Some of you may recall that Shootin' Den closed it's doors a year and a half ago after it's original owner had passed away and the new owners decided to close the doors (they tried to sell the store but just couldn't get a buyer with the financing).

Well, Laura Cambron, one of the former employees (she'd been associated with this store and the original owner her whole life) has decided to re-open the store, hopefully in it's original location.

While a few things are still pending (Lauras is still waiting for her FFL to come through and locking in a lease on the storefront, etc.), the plan is to open the store for business somewhere around 30 - 60 days from now.

I've known Laura for 20+ years and can tell you she is a great person and has a passion for firearms that all of us can appreciate. She's really excited about this endeavor and I know she'll need our business and word-of-mouth referrals to help her get the place rolling and to stay in business.

I will update everyone as I get more information.

Neat, although I never bought anything there, I like to go there.

Woo hoo, some place closer to visit during lunch break.

Nice. I remember Laura from there. Can't wait to visit again.

Thanks for the head's up.

Um, I love her like a sister - and not in a incestuous way.

She really is good people.

Isn't the original location of the Shootin Den a Medical Marijuana Dispensary now?

Frankly I'd love to see her open it a bit farther west (if nothing else to frighten the hippies).


EDIT This is what I get for not reading the entire thread before posting a response
I guess I'll have to stop in and buy something.

If I get down to the springs I'll check it out, then meet up with Ginsue for a beer!

I went by this morning... technically not open yet, but it was good to see them again. They've moved over a little in the building. Looks really nice. I hear the entire strip is getting a facelift soon.
