Bell Brothers Brewing will be one of four ventures opening in the fall at 112-114 N. Tejon St. The other three, which Iâll report on later, are: a second Springs Dog Haus; Shrunken Head Tiki Bar and Lounge via restaurateur Joe Campana and biz partner Audriana Sutherland; and Aspen Axe axe throwing, which will serve food and drinks too.
Curtis and Cody Bell are the brewers behind Bell, which theyâre theming around science and engineering. Their mom is an aerospace engineer, their dad an Army Ranger veteran, Curtis is a computer engineer working with satellite-ground communications, and Cody is a metallurgy and materials engineer who does failure analysis work on aircrafts.Â
Customers are returning to Colorado restaurants, bars, retail shops and other businesses, but they may not have anyone to take their order and serve them, help them find merchandise or take their payment.

Business owners report they can t get anyone to respond to their job postings and help-wanted ads, let alone show up for an interview, accept a job and start working.

âWe definitely are seeing a shortage in restaurant workers in the community,â says Joe Campana, a Colorado Springs entrepreneur who owns several area restaurants and bars, including Bonny and Read and Shame & Regret. âWeâve been OK, but Iâve heard it all over town. Iâve had a number of different owners call me in the last few weeks asking me to forward applications over to them, anything weâve got.â
