During the COVID-19 pandemic, many people are staying in to protect themselves, their families, and others from getting infected. However, this does mean that restaurants and other local businesses do not have any foot traffic and have little business. Hence, it is important to support local businesses at this time.

You can support local businesses by ordering delivery or takeout from local restaurants, shopping online on Aspen store websites, buying local produce from Clarks Market, City Market, or Roxys Market and Deli, buy gift cards from local restaurants and shops to use as a gift when the stores reopen, donate to local businesses and nonprofits, write online reviews to show local businesses how much you appreciate them.

Avery Colgan, the manager of White House Tavern, noted her opinion on the importance of supporting local businesses during this time.

“Supporting local businesses can really show the essential workers how appreciative you are of them,” Colgan stated.

One way to support local businesses is by supporting local restaurants. Many of the restaurants in Aspen and Snowmass have continued to stay open, but conduct their orders via delivery and takeout service only to avoid getting people infected. Some of these restaurants include CP Burger, which offers take-out and curb-side pick up, Meat and Cheese, which offers delivery and takeout from 11 am – 7:30 pm, Big Wrap, which offers takeout on Monday – Friday from 10 am – 6 pm, White House Tavern, which is offering takeout.
