A new and unique business is coming to Fort Collins. One thing that I love about living in Fort Collins is that there are many places that would be considered a third place.
What Is a Third Place—and Why It Matters
A third place is a coffee shop or a place to hang out that is not your work or home. A third place is where you can either hang out by yourself or with friends. Think of the Central Perk in the show “Friends”.

Why Spuds? Loaded Baked Potatoes as Identity
You may be wondering, why the name Spuds? Well, Spuds’ specialty will be loaded baked potatoes. I have yet to hear of a concept quite like this before.
Student‑ and LGBTQ+‑Friendly Vibes at Spuds
Here’s how Spuds Lounge and Cafe describes itself on its website.
Spuds Lounge and Cafe is a student- and LGBTQ+-friendly space to study, snack, sing, or just sit back with a baked potato.
Spuds Lounge and Cafe will be focused on Colorado State students, but will be open for everybody. One really great thing is that the majority of the furniture will be for sale. If you like a couch or a decoration? Keep your eyes peeled for a price tag. You might be able to take it home.
