Are you still trying to figure out what it is you are going to gift to your friend, family member or significant other?
Let Fort Collins top real estate agent, Jamie Simonis, walk you through town and introduce you to the small business owners of Fort Collins. Fort Collins boasts a vibrant downtown scene lined with local business owners along with delicious eats from Front Range Village to Old Town Fort Collins.
Especially in times of COVID-19, it is essential that we support our local small businesses so that our community can continue to thrive in the way we have always known it to. Regardless of having over 167,000 population, Fort Collins is known for its quaint, small town feel and small businesses are at the heart center of it.
Here are my top choices for this seasons last minute gift giving ideas, in support of our local small businesses of Fort Collins, Colorado.
I did my best to include options from all industries and shopping categories. Let me know in the comments if you think I have left anything out!
Famous for: The Australian Meat Pie!
This family owned business moved over 8,000 miles away from their small coastal town in south eastern Australia to Fort Collins, Colorado where they founded the Waltzing Kangaroo in March 2016.
Handed down through generations, they have perfected this Aussie Meat Pie and now serve our beautiful city of Fort Collins as one of the staples now featured in books, magazines, newspapers etc.
Top Flavors:
Steak & Gravy
Guinness Steak & Mushroom
Lamb & Rosemary
Veggies & White Cheese
Beef Stroganoff
Making for an excellent last minute gift, stop into their Fort Collins Bakery and discover their other classic Australian food options like sausage rolls, mushy peas, and apple turnovers.
