  • Local Gem: Pelo’s Deli & Provisions

    Yesterday, I had the pleasure of enjoying one of the best pastrami sandwiches I’ve had in a very long time at Pelo’s Deli & Provisions. As someone who grew up in Miami Beach, finding a great pastrami sandwich in the Front Range has been a challenge—until now! I went with my friend Andy and he had a Chicago beef sandwich which was also well enjoyed.

    I also had the opportunity to speak with Kim, the owner, and congratulate her on creating a community space for Longmont. Pelo’s isn’t just a deli; it’s a great third place that will be open late for Longmont residents/visitors that want to enjoy the city after other places close down for the evening.

    Kim shared how challenging the city permit process was during her journey to open Pelo’s. As a candidate for Longmont City Council, I’m committed to supporting local businesses like Pelo’s by working to streamline city processes and reduce unnecessary delays for entrepreneurs. These small businesses are the backbone of our local economy and contribute significantly to Longmont’s unique character.

    I loved Pelo’s so much that I went back later with my wife, Emily and friend, Tony, to share this new establishment. Thank you, Kim, for persevering and bringing such a fantastic space to Longmont!

    It’s exciting to see new establishments like Pelo’s Deli open in our city, and I encourage everyone to explore the great local spots that make Longmont so unique.

  • Connecting with Longmont’s Business Community

    This week, I had the pleasure of attending the Longmont Chamber’s Business After Hours event at Adams Bank & Trust. The disco-themed gathering brought together a diverse group of local business leaders, entrepreneurs, and community advocates, showcasing the vibrant business ecosystem that makes Longmont special.

    Throughout the evening, I engaged with representatives from various sectors including marketing professionals, financial advisors, local non-profits, and creative entrepreneurs. These conversations reinforced my understanding of the challenges and opportunities facing our business community.

    As someone committed to building a Strong Longmont For All, these networking events are invaluable for understanding the needs of our local business community. The energy and collaborative spirit displayed at events like these demonstrate why Longmont continues to be an attractive destination for businesses and families alike.
    I look forward to continuing these important conversations about Longmont’s future with our business community and residents alike. Together, we can ensure Longmont remains a thriving city for businesses of all sizes.
