COLORADO SPRINGS â The odds were against most businesses in 2020. It was just a real sad time, a sad time in world history, said Perry Sanders, Owner of the Mining Exchange and Antlers Hotel.
Despite the pandemic, retailers in downtown Colorado Springs made it through.
The Downtown Partnership released its annual State of Downtown report last week which showed some decline, but a lot of progress.
According to the report, in 2020 there were 21 new store fronts in downtown, including Clay Venues. We opened this kind of mid-pandemic, we were open last year and had a couple events, called them COVID events, said Becky Nuttall, Owner of Clay Venues.
