COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (KOAA) — With few options for grocery shopping in the downtown area of Colorado Springs, many people likely welcome the news from the Pikes Peak Regional Building Department (PPRBD) that a new grocery store is coming to the area!
On Tuesday, PPRBD posted to social media that permits have been pulled for the renovation of some space connected to the Warehouse Restaurant. The building is along W. Cimarron Street, close to the Weidner Field. The space is expected to be turned into the "Warehouse Urban Grocer."
A Facebook page for the business also shared a post to social media on Tuesday.
"Where the dirt and concrete come together to bring you fresh, locally sourced produce and meats," a post from the Warehouse Urban Grocer reads. "We are working diligently with our farmers and ranchers from all over Colorado to secure the best of the best our state has to offer. From farm to your table, The Warehouse Urban Grocer will deliver for your family and friends."
An exact opening date has yet to be announced, but the business has posted they expect to open in the spring.
