This local diner began operating in 1947. The current owner worked at the Diner for years before moving towards ownership (although she still works on the floor -she very well may be your server!). She has this to say about the diner, “It’s a pleasure to work towards preserving the rich history, and spending time with our wonderful regulars and the tourists who come in to enjoy our food”.
Today, This diner is a family restaurant that boasts a charming number of regulars who you will often see in their groups chatting about cars, work, the weather, and the old days. The diner is driven by the love of people who enjoy spending the warmest and coldest days with them. They pride themselves on good food and good service.

The original owners opened the shop in the 1980’s and the current owner purchased it in 2021. This business operates as an “S” Corporation and operates on a calendar year basis for tax purposes. The owner will stay on during the transition to a new owner for 30 days and slightly longer if necessary.

Mountain View Froyo and Smoothie Cafe (MV) is a yogurt, smoothie, and quiet food establishment located at 222 West Midland Avenue in Woodland Park, Colorado. MV was purchased by the current owner in December of 2022, and has continued to serve the residents of Teller County as well as the many tourists that visit the area. The current owners of MV made small changes in the menu, décor, and other areas and business revenues have increased substantially since they became owners nearly a year ago. But the owners had other business interests and have decided that they do not have the time to adequately take care of their other businesses and this store as well.
MV serves several different flavors of yogurt and has four in-the-wall new and ultra-modern dispensers which make it easy for customers to design their own treat with one or more flavors. MV also has a portable yogurt machine which they take to events at schools, parks, and other venues such as Main Street events in the area. In addition to yogurt, MV serves different types of hot and cold foods as well as different types of coffees and cold drinks. They are well known for their specialty hot dogs.
Sales in 2019 exceeded $85,000.00. 2020 happened to be a down year due to COVID. Sales dropped to just over $74,000.00. But 2021 proved to be a banner year with sales coming in about $100,000.00. Sales for 2022 are not exactly known as the business was sold near the end of the year but sales were expected to generate about the same revenue as 2021. 2023 however has shown a substantial increase in sales as the store is now open all year. Sales are projected to reach $140,000.00 or approximately a 40% increase over 2021.
The facilities are located on the main street in Woodland Park. During the late spring, summer, and early fall, the traffic is backed up for miles with tourists coming into and through town to get to their destination. MV is situated just in the right place in town to capture a lot of customers from this traffic. The building has 1570 square feet of space. The monthly rent is $1100.00. The facility has two garage doors in the front which are opened in warm weather providing a great outdoor-type experience. There is parking located at the rear of the building.
Market value of the equipment is $90,000.00 as the yogurt machines are brand new. Inventory value is typically about $15,000.00. Both equipment and inventory are included in the asking price.
During the slow season, the store is open from 12 Noon until 6:00 PM daily except for Sundays when they open at 12:30 PM. During the busy season, they are open from 11:00 AM until 7:00 PM. There are three part-time employees who provide the ultimate in service.

This pizza store began operations at this location in 1983 making it one of the best businesses in Colorado Springs for longevity. It is located in a shopping center very near one of the major streets in the area. The shopping center was purchased by new owners during the past couple of years and they have been in the process of renovating the entire center making it a more attractive center for all customers.
This pizza business has a phenomenal 40 year history in the same location. It had the same owner for 39 of those years and is one of Colorado Springs oldest and independently owned and operated Pizzerias. In 2022 and due to health reasons, the original owner decided to sell the business.
In November of 2022, a new owner purchased the business. This new owner and his wife created a new menu, purchased two new ovens, a new POS system, and even spent $32,000.00 on a new electrical panel updating the electrical grid in the location. There were other modernization changes in which they invested. Sales have been averaging over $28,000.00 per month and have recently increased to over $30,000.00. The new owners promoted two of the employees to manager of the store and manager of the kitchen. And the new owners had existing full-time jobs. The end result was that with all the increased expenses and time involved, they felt like they could not continue on physically. Therefore, they have decided to sell the store to someone who can spend the amount of time necessary to continue the legacy of the store.
Their pizza selection is varied and has many choices. Not only do they provide pizza, they also provide other Italian delicacies such as Stromboli, Chicken Parmigiana Fettucine Alfredo, Spaghetti, and a variety of popular appetizers. Customers have said that this is the best pizza they have ever eaten. And with hundreds of 5 star reviews on Google and Yelp this is one of the highest rated Pizza Restaurants in Colorado Springs.

This shop is located near downtown Colorado Springs. Their lease is being terminated ad the landlord is planning on a new construction on the property.\\ Total sales are running around $685,000 with a cash flow of over $100K. A business appraiser pegged the business value at $385K but the seller is asking $280K for the business. The husband is a service writer and would move over to the new owner if wanted and the techs would also be interested in moving to the new ownership as well. There is a $150K IDL (sba) assumable loan that can be a part of the purchase price. This must be a quick sale as the lease is over at the end of September.

This company is located in Colorado Springs, Colorado. They are a highly-reputable company performing work for both smaller and larger companies like Texas Instruments since 1988. This is a very unique opportunity as the owner is retiring. The owners have built a company with a great reputation and high integrity and have provided excellent service to their customers. They employ only the highest-trained employees in the industry whose goal is to make this the best quartz fabricating company in the country. The owner is older and has been running the company without any extensive business background but has been successful. The company needs some “new blood” ie; a new owner to take charge of administration and operations and take the company to the next level. They have a sales person who has been there for many years but has to spend a portion of his time helping to manage the plant. All the equipment is in place for this company to increase sales up to several million dollars annually. A full-time sales person could be very instrumental in this endeavor.
The company leases its 18,6000 square foot facility from the owner and it is to be sold along with the business. Orders are coming in on an accelerated basis as the microchip industry is growing. The new AI industry is poised to have substantial growth during the next few years which should mean a substantial increase in orders. $5 million sales annually is not beyond reason. The sales/order backlog as of the date of this listing is $2.8 million which will allow a new owner to get off to a great start. The company is constantly bidding for new projects.
