- Order barbecue for the party from LiL' Howard's BBQ and Catering.
- Get coffee and ice cream in one stop at Caffeinated Cow.
- Book skin work at PureLee Redefined or Your Bliss Skin & Body Care.
- Learn to dance at Latisha Hardy Dance & Co.
- The Colorado Springs hub carries all 26 listings across seven categories.
Where should I eat and drink?
High Grade Foods Jamaican Restaurant and Bar runs a dining room, a food truck and delivery, so it covers every version of the evening. Po' Brothers cooks gumbo, jambalaya and po' boys. Four by Brother Luc does seasonal Southwestern tasting menus and craft cocktails, and is the one to book ahead. Luchals cooks gluten-free without making that the whole personality of the place. Pho King Wing is on Flintridge Drive.
LiL' Howard's BBQ and Catering caters private and public events. Caffeinated Cow is a family and veteran-owned coffee and ice cream shop, and the local Bonefish Grill is a locally owned franchise rather than a corporate location, which is a distinction worth knowing when you are choosing where to spend.
Skin, hair and the spa
PureLee Redefined is an all-inclusive medical spa. Your Bliss Skin & Body Care works with clean techniques on the skin's natural balance, and Rooted Glow Esthetics does waxing and consultations. Beauty Bar runs a full salon and spa, and Xpressions Beauty Studios carries wigs across textures, lengths and lace types. Ochre Massage Spa adds beginner-friendly yoga classes alongside massage.
Moving, learning and looking after yourself
Latisha Hardy Dance & Co teaches salsa, bachata and hip hop in private lessons and classes. I Love Me Journey trains women in personal sessions, group fitness and nutrition coaching. Whealthy organizes an Olympic-style community competition that pulls in families, small businesses and nonprofits for the day. Anthem Music Enterprises does artist development, music education and live events, and Empowered Care supports personal growth, community involvement and workplace success.
Peace of Mind plans group travel, either from its own curated trips or built to order.
Business, security and the rest
Guerrilla Media is a full-service video production company. Source COS pitches the city to national media. Boss Babe Networking does marketing strategy. Pikes Peak Security covers residential and commercial security. The Men's Xchange sells menswear, and Mrz Chevy'Z Candle World pours candles.
What the record does not cover yet
There are 26 published listings, and all 26 are filed in Colorado Springs itself. Fountain, Monument, Manitou Springs, Woodland Park, Falcon, Peyton, Black Forest, Security-Widefield, Cimarron Hills, Fort Carson, Palmer Lake, Green Mountain Falls and Calhan have none yet.
By type the gaps are wide: no contractor, plumber, electrician, auto shop, lawyer, accountant, dentist or real estate agent anywhere in the El Paso County record, and one retailer. That is a gap in the record rather than a description of the city, and it follows from the sources, which are visitor guides. If you run a trade or a professional practice here, a free listing puts you in front of people already looking, and you would be the first in your field.
Common mistakes
- Treating a caterer as a restaurant. The barbecue on this list cooks for events rather than for a dining room.
- Assuming a food truck and a restaurant keep the same hours. One business here runs both, and they do not always run at once.
- Skipping the franchise. A locally owned franchise is a local business with a national menu, and the listing says which one it is.
- Looking only downtown. Several of these businesses sit well outside the center, and the address is on the listing.
