COLORADO SPRINGS â When El Paso County hit Level Orange, restaurants were allowed to invite their customers back in under a 25% capacity.
However, local restaurant owner, Joe Campana, sat on the sidelines, and decided to wait.
Campana owns eight different restaurants and bars in Colorado Springs.
Including The Rabbit Hole, Bonny and Read, Shame and Regret, and many more.
All of which have been closed since November. It has been a rollercoaster for us in the restaurant business as you can see not knowing what to do. It seems like the rules are changing every couple of weeks.
