I'm hoping to be able to sell the bars in CO! I have to figure out what all the rule are for re-opening the business out West!! Hopefully it's doable..Will keep you posted!!
Natalie - can't wait either!
Yeah girl! Go west young woman and experience the rocky mountain high!! SO EXCITING...smashy + ota right down the street!! i l.o.v.e. YOU!!
Just went to Tailgate and looked for you :( Didn't know it was over!
Is that the Royal Arch at Chautauqua Park in Boulder?
Where in CO are you moving? I live in Ft. Collins and will look for ya at the farmers markets!
We're in Denver. Where are you moving to? Would LOVE to get together!
Crystal - We will be living in Westminster for a short while with my bro-in-law and sis-in-law. After we get jobs hopefully we'll move to Denver. I have family in Ft.Collins..love it there! Not sure when I'll be able to start selling in CO but will keep everyone posted!
Manda - Keep tuned to the blog and you'll know when I'm finally in CO [leaving on sept. 10th] Hope we can meet up at some point after that!
I used to work in the sales tax office for Ft. Collins - I will check back on a while and if you need any info. I will be glad to help. I don't know everything but I do know the basics of getting state/city sales tax/business licenses for CO.
Crystal!! Can you email me your contact info please..I would love to talk about "the basics" with you. I haven't found much online. Please send to info@otabars.com THANK YOU x100!
Hi Ashley. I've been living in Boulder for a little over a year since moving from the East Coast for law school. I am never moving back. Westminster is a great location--midway between both Boulder and Denver!! You shouldn't have too much of a problem starting to sell your ota.bars in the state as it is one of the top entreprenurial (sp?) states in the US. It seems that everyone has their own businesses here...and smaller, more local businesses thrive. Like I mentioned, I am in law school and don't know too much about the business laws out here just yet, but I do know many attorneys who just might be able to give you some advice. I can ask around.
Amy!! Thanks for your comment...I will be in touch with you for sure!! =)
Crystal!! Yes, please check back in a few weeks!! I'll take any info I can get!! Thank youu!!
