This Monday at 3 pm, join us in the National Moment of Remembrance, a one-minute pause to honor those who gave their lives in service to our country.

One minute to put the memorial back in Memorial Day.

This year, over 50 veterans from Southern Colorado are making that trip in person, flying to Washington, D.C. to stand at the Poppy Wall of Honor and the monuments built for those they served alongside. For many, it will be their first time.

Blue West Capital definitely runs on Dunkin’ ☕🍩

Dunkin' fuelled the crew this week as J.R. Hagan, Josh Lorenzen, and Shawn Dickmann spent the day touring the market with Ann Johnson and Pieter Niehaus from Quality Brand Group, along with Larry Hill from Inspire Brands, checking out Dunkin’s new Peyton location.

The new store looks great, the coffee hit the spot, and it was awesome seeing the excitement around another Dunkin' opening in Colorado.

Always cool watching a brand continue to grow and even better being part of the journey alongside a great team. Appreciate the partnership and looking forward to what’s next.
