The iconic and beloved Glen Haven General Store has reopened for business following a temporary evacuation due to Colorado’s destructive Alexander Mountain Fire . The store, which is known for selling cinnamon rolls, was closed for several days during their peak sales season.
“It has been a bit of a rollercoaster,” said Amanda Haskins, owner of the store.
This was not the first time Haskins had to evacuate the area due to threat of fire, however it was her first time having to evacuate as a local business owner.
Haskins recently purchased the general store from the previous longtime owners.
“Tuesday night was the first night we got the rumor that we may need to pack up and go,” Haskins said. “As a homeowner you are always worried about your house. But, as a business owner you are also worried about your business, but also about the lack of business and the ramifications of not being open over a weekend.
