Wooglin\u2019s Deli will soon open its second location in northeast Colorado Springs. The eatery, which has been a fixture at 823 N. Tejon St. for nearly 30 years, plans to open another location near the corner of Barnes Road and Oro Blanco Drive by the end of the year. In the proposed site plans, the deli would also occupy a prominent spot next to the new Robson Arena.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur goal has always been to be 100 percent in tune with what students need and what they want. And of course the general public, but CC is our primary audience and customer,\u201d says Todd Renz, Wooglin\u2019s manager.<\/p>\n
Renz says he plans to close the Tejon location in late November, when students leave for Thanksgiving break, and have the new location at Barnes up and running by mid-December. \u201cWe\u2019ll need to have some flexibility with inspections and equipment installations,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n
Renz says he\u2019s \u201cexcited but nervous\u201d about the changes coming to the neighborhood with Robson Area. \u201cWe are doing as much of the work as we can to get ready before moving time. After 18 years in one [location], it\u2019s exciting to have the additional space.\u201d<\/p>\n
The eatery will be open at just one location when the Robson Arena construction gets underway. Wooglin\u2019s aims to be in a new space near the arena when it opens, and Renz says the Barnes location will stay open as a second location.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m really proud of the fact that we have a clientele that are dedicated and regular,\u201d says Renz, and he\u2019s looking forward to the \u201cpreexisting customer base,\u201d joining Wooglin\u2019s. “Ultimately, two years from now, everyone\u2019s going to be better off and, in the meantime, the second location is going to be a great anchor location once it takes off, too.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
