Sign is up: Lil Richard’s replaced the Downtown Suites sign with one for its restaurant, which will make the breakfast burrito shop easier to find. Not that finding it has been a big problem.
Lil Richard’s posted on its Facebook page on Sunday, Nov. 1, after concluding business for the day:
“GRAND JUNCTION… YOU JUST GAVE US OUR BUSIEST WEEKEND EVER! And BOY, did y’all put us to the test!
“This weekend pushed us into territory we’ve never experienced before. The orders kept coming, the griddle never stopped, and our little crew faced challenges we’d never encountered.
“And we couldn’t be prouder of them.
“Not because everything went perfectly. It didn’t. But because when things got tough, they kept showing up for each other, for our customers, and for something we’re all building together.
“THAT’S OUR TEAM. And we’re incredibly lucky to have them.”
- Grateful to Incubator: Joystick Junction owner Robert Trevino said his business, which opened in mid-October, wouldn’t exist without the help he got from Grand Junction’s Business Incubator Center.
“They helped us a lot during the journey,” he said. “They walked us through some of the business plan, seeing it’s feasible, and they took the leap with us. So I definitely want to thank them. … They’ve been awesome.”
