Margaret Miner - Rags Consignment & ten20

Way, way back in 1995, shopping for second hand clothes in Boulder was a little different for Margaret Miner and her friends. “There was no Craigslist, there was no eBay,” she says. “There were vintage and retro (consignment stores)… but I could not find anything my friends and I were purchasing.

Features

Dale Katechis – Oskar Blues Brewing

How Katechis and the other 450 employees that are Oskar Blues Brewing got to where they are today is due more to the company’s fertile culture, good people, freedom to fail and focus on having fun than any MBA generated business plan.

Jim Seidel – Snarf’s

Despite the presence of many more-established national chains in the Boulder County area, Snarf’s has become synonymous with tasty, quality sub sandwiches thanks to the diligence, perseverance and attention to detail of founder Jim Seidel.

Josh Karp – Waterloo

Waterloo is the brainchild of Josh Karp, a former construction worker and son of the man who owned Waterloo Records in Austin, TX from the 1980s. When he arrived in Colorado (initially on vacation – the man decided o stick around) and chose to open a neighborhood bar, he “borrowed” the name from his pops.

Margaret Miner – Rags Consignment & ten20

With no formal business training, three young children at home, and only $6,500, the CU alum thought, “Oh I think I can do this,” and she did. She now owns three Rags Consignment stores and the innovative Ten20 Nail & Waxing Spa on Pearl Street.

Brook Eddy – Bhakti Chai

In much the same way that Mo Siegel put Boulder on the tea drinking map when he launched Celestial Seasonings 45 years ago, Brook Eddy is on course to take her wildly popular Bhakti Chai brand on an equally expansive, if not greater, business trajectory.

Stephen Tebo – Tebo Development Company

It’s telling that, as we were driving between Lafayette and Boulder for our interview with Stephen Tebo, Boulder’s property development giant, it seemed like we passed sign after sign proclaiming a building to be under the control of Tebo. We couldn’t seem to escape his name.

Halloween – Best Trick or Treat Neighborhoods

It’s the Holy Grail of Halloween treats: a full sized candy bar, preferably chocolate, preferably Hershey’s. This year Halloween’s on a Friday night and come clear skies or a foot of snow, kids will be out there searching for the best areas for top notch treats. So let’s be sure to find them.

Halloween – Horror in Colorado

What better way to celebrate Halloween than curled up on the sofa watching a scary movie. The experience is that little bit better (and scarier) when the film has a local connection, so we have compiled ten horror movies with a Colorado link.

Scene

Night of the Living Dead

Going into its sixth run in seven years, Night Of The Living Dead stage/film adaptation at the Bug Theatre has become as much a fall tradition as back-to-school sales and Chicago Cubs collapses.

Big Boy’s Toy Box

It’s just a little box with some stuff in it. But it’s also a little piece of magic that can bring a ray of golden sunshine into the dreary grayness that is adulthood.

Cuisine

Sampler Plate

Tidbits and trends for BoCo foodies! What's open, what's closed, what's good, and what's happening?

Protein Bar

With a mission to “change the way people eat on-the-go,” it was a logical, albeit bold move for Protein Bar to spread to Boulder, a city which has been at the forefront of “health food” since the seventies.
