Support the independent voice of Denver and help keep the future of Westword free.
Back in October, we reported that Sugar Lips Mini Donuts, the turquoise mobile wagon that served up tiny fried treats all summer, had landed a lease on a Copper Mountain storefront and was anticipating a Thanksgiving week opening.
The shop didn't make it, though, and it's pushed back its opening date until Christmas.
"Dealing with building department in Summit County was more difficult than we anticipated," says Jasmine Listou, Sugar Lips owner. "But we have four of the five approvals now, and we meet with the fire department tomorrow. The second we get that approval, we'll start building."
That construction will take about two weeks, which brings the opening date to Christmas -- perfect timing for capturing the crowd of ski bunnies that will descend upon the mountain.
Keep Westword Free... Since we started Westword, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Denver, and we would like to keep it that way. Offering our readers free access to incisive coverage of local news, food and culture. Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism. You can help by participating in our "I Support" membership program, allowing us to keep covering Denver with no paywalls.
