CBD coffee shop in Platt Park targets fall opening

Published Thu, 13 Mar 2025 01:26:05 GMT

A new Platt Park coffee shop is going all in on CBD.Lindsey Sozio, owner of Lavender Coffee Boutique, is opening a one-stop-shop for CBD coffee, teas, and retail items at 1219 S. Pearl St. this fall.“CBD is a really interesting opportunity,” Sozio said. “It’s been around, it’s not an easy space to play in, and we don’t feel like anyone is doing it well enough.”Lavender Coffee Boutique isn’t the first Denver coffee shop to offer CBD. Blue Sparrow, for example, sells a CBD iced latte, and SloHi Coffee can add CBD into any cup of joe and sells Sträva CBD coffee beans.Sozio said Lavender’s beans are sourced from Costa Rica and Peru, and are infused with 15 mg of CBD per serving, as opposed to adding an oil to the brewed coffee as some shops do.Lavender will also sell her favorite CBD products like face lotions and bath salts. And traditionalists will still be able to get CBD-free coffee.“We’re just a regular local coffee shop that’s a really nice environment to come into and we’ve got t...

CSU Rams eye Year 2 leap under Jay Norvell: “There’s not a team on our schedule we don’t match up well against.”

Published Thu, 13 Mar 2025 01:26:05 GMT

From 3-9 to the Fiesta Bowl in a single season?It may sound like lunacy to those outside Fort Collins, but not to Jay Norvell.The second-year Rams boss believes that leap wouldn’t be a miracle as he attempts to make the Rams, who haven’t been bowling since 2017, relevant again.“We expect to win,” the second-year Rams head coach told The Post. “Is that seven games, is that eight games, is that nine games? I don’t know. I just know this: We’re better at every position, we’re a full inch taller at every position. I can’t say that at any program that I’ve ever been in. Physically, our profile is more of what (my staff) looks for.“And I also know this: The winner of our (Mountain West) conference has a heck of a chance to play in the Fiesta Bowl. And that’s pretty good motivation for anybody.”Norvell has a blueprint he’s following. After going 3-9 in his first year at Nevada in 2017, he went 8-5 the next ...

Keeler: If Stan Kroenke gave Dick Monfort $3 billion to get away from Rockies, it would be Denver’s best sports swap since John Elway in ’83.

Enos Stanley Kroenke’s plucky little basketball squad just went out and Oppenheimered Anthony Edwards, Kevin Durant, LeBron James and Pat Riley. Future GOAT. Whiny GOAT. Old GOAT. Ancient GOAT. In that order.You think he’d be scared of the stinking Dodgers?You think he’d moan about the Padres’ payroll?You think he’d let the Diamondbacks out-draft and out-develop him?You think he’d stand in front of his customers over the winter and set the bar at playing “.500 ball?”The man would ship the Rams back to St. Louis first.We’re down this rabbit hole because word on the street, and via Sports Business Journal’s John Ourand, is that Stan Kroenke and the deep pockets over at Kroenke Sports Entertainment have engaged the Rockies about buying the latter’s television rights for 2024 and beyond.Much like their baseball ops, the Rox have hit a dead-end on the broadcasting front. Warner Brothers Discovery, per Ourand, is done with AT&T Rocky Mountain, keeping the lights on just long enough fo...

Kiszla: Archie Manning sees greed writing the new rules of college football, and he worries for its future

Published Thu, 13 Mar 2025 01:26:05 GMT

The patriarch of the first family of football winces with the pain for the sport he loves. What football teaches kids today: Greed is good. And that worries Archie Manning, because worry is what a good dad does when the principles he has long taught get trampled by blind pursuit of the almighty dollar.“If you want to go to a college, it should be because you want to play football there, not because somebody pays you more than the other guy,” Manning told me.When the father of a football dynasty sounds the alarm, maybe everybody in the sport should heed Manning’s warning and wonder, like he does: How did we get here?The college game has sold its soul to name, image and likeness, then turned around to make a deal with the devil in the transfer portal, while tossing tradition in the trash heap of conference realignment.“College football is kind of upside down right now,” said Manning, who admits the upheaval has left his 74-year-old head spinning.When money means everything, the noble ...
