...they're consolidating their 2 buildings into one by moving into that new space ! Asked about it when we were in there the other day

Lafayette Florist has SOLD just its property/greenhouses/building (not our flower shop or name) to a very well known and trusted family-owned business that will open a top quality garden center on the same location at 600 South Public Rd. They will announce their name and info soon) They will take excellent care of all your garden shopping needs this coming Spring and beyond!

The Boulder County Commissioners have approved a 30-year forgivable loan of $1,055,000 in support of the purchase of the Mountain View Mobile Home Park located in Lafayette to help transition it to a resident-owned community.

I was there for dinner early October, and the waitress came to the table and said we were the last customers, and I thought, okay they are closing for the evening and they want us to move along. Got to talking to her and she clarified that we were literally the last customers. They were shutting down. I really liked the food and service but the atmosphere wasn't great for us.

Since we have a vested interest in development in downtown Lafayette and South Public Road, we always keep an eye on the Lafayette Urban Renewal Authority's (LURA) monthly meeting agenda. We've known about the Kalita Grill Greek Cafe for a while, but when a project actually pops up on an agenda it means it is actively moving forward through the city review process. 

801 S. Public Road, currently vacant, was most recently home to Jack’s Pet Place pet supplies shop. This is actually 3 doors down from our future storefront at 707 South Public, so we're excited to see this come to downtown. Plus, we like Greek food, so we're eager to give it a try when they open their doors.

The LURA board is scheduled to discuss the project in thier November 14th meeting:

Approval of the Site Plan and Architectural Review application for Kalita Grill at 801 S. Public Road with Recommended Conditions

From a home kitchen in Lafayette, welcome newcomer Daily Grains is turning out exceptional sourdough loaves using freshly milled heirloom grain. Wife and husband Ashley Overstreet and Paul Bonneville craft exceptional oatmeal raisin cookies, and their crusty, not-too-sweet chocolate cherry sourdough loaf makes outstanding toast. Daily Grains currently sells at the Cure Organic Farm roadside stand on Wednesdays and Saturdays, but the owners expect to break ground soon on a new Lafayette bakery. 

Following up on the announcement following the retirement of the owners of Ting’s restaurant in Lafayette. I had an incredible amount of interest from restauranteurs. I successfully signed a lease with a new tenant who will be opening a classic Italian restaurant called Bucatino.

Delcercq and Steiner toured a lot of places in their search for the right brick-and-mortar for their business, and when they connected with Alvarez and toured the N.O.S.H., it was an opportunity they couldn't pass up. "It feels good to find the right spot," Declercq says. 

Unlike other potential locations, this one comes complete with the cafe and baking setup they need. "You just gotta trust the universe on these things," she adds. "You can only plan so much."
