Mountain Sun Pub and Brewery in Boulder is one of numerous food-oriented businesses taking a serious hit through the loss of food spoiled during storm-related outages throughout Boulder County this past weekend. Widespread outages across the Front Range have impacted tens of thousands of customers, including businesses that lost thousands of dollars in spoiled food and nonexistent sales, each day the power remained off.
With the warning given from his employee and community members, Rosenberg was able to borrow a refrigerated truck from a business contact to store as much food as possible. Fifteen minutes into loading the truck, he finally received communication from Xcel Energy saying the power was out. Rosenberg estimates that between Blackbelly being closed and the food that didn’t make it into the truck, it will lose at least $40,000 — not to mention the wages staff members are having to go without.
“At noon, left the message saying they were doing planned outages,” Steele said. “What was so frustrating is that across the street, the whole downtown business area was open, and all the lights were on.” “It’s unfortunate that we’re trying to think of something like that, when Xcel is a publicly traded, for-profit business,” Stuckey said. “They have the control of other businesses being able to do business, meaning we need some collaboration with them on this.”
