Have you ever been to our office? If you haven’t, you might be a little surprised at our location. Most people smile with wonder as they first walk in the door and take a look around\u2014we don’t have a typical strip-mall kind of office… we’re located in an old train station!<\/p>\n
First, a little background: for the first few years after Andy Stauffer started the company, we worked out of a very small one-room office on Black Forest road which was great… until we started growing, at which point we decided to make the move to the downtown Colorado Springs area. We decided to share space with our friends at Rocky Mountain Metalcraft, in the back of their showroom which was in the former Chrissey Fowler Lumber building, (which, incidentally, is where Andy used to get his lumber for building when he first moved here in the late 1990s).<\/p>\n
We stayed there for a few years until 2009, when we decided it was time to move again. We wanted to stay downtown, and really liked the general location of where we were, so we started looking for new office space in the most primitive way possible: we walked around our building and looked for “For Lease” signs to see what was available. Just two blocks north of us, we found the the Old Depot square, (which at the time, housed Giuseppi’s Restaurant), and saw that Pella Windows had recently moved out of their office space in the building complex. We called the number on the sign, signed a lease, and the rest is history!<\/p>\n
