It’s finally time! ❤️

Auggie’s Market will officially OPEN TO THE PUBLIC on Thursday, June 11th!

Then, join us on Sunday, June 14th at 1:00 PM for our GRAND OPENING CELEBRATION as we commemorate this exciting new chapter together with the community.

June 14th also happens to be our son Auggie’s 8th birthday, which makes it the perfect day to officially celebrate. 🎉

What started as a dream to bring a locally owned grocery store back to La Junta has become a reality because of the incredible support from this community. We are grateful beyond words and cannot wait to welcome you through our doors.

Thank you for believing in us. We’ll see you soon! 🎉

La Junta is both a certified Colorado Main Street community and a Colorado Creative District, two vital state programs, offering support for community-led downtown revitalization since 2018. That double designation means La Junta's downtown gets the best of both worlds: investment in historic preservation AND a thriving creative economy. Come see it for yourself!

And we can’t wait!! 🎉

And we can’t wait!! 🎉

After months of hard work, long days, and a whole lot of learning along the way… we finally have an official opening date!

Auggie’s Market opens June 11th! 🎉

When we first shared that we were aiming for May, that was our honest goal. As we got deeper into renovations, equipment installs, inspections, training, and all the details that come with bringing a full grocery store back to life, it became clear that taking a little more time now was the right decision for the long-term success of the store and the experience we want every customer to have. 🙂

We know many of you have been waiting patiently, checking in constantly, and cheering us on from day one. Your support has meant more to us than you know. ❤️

June 11th is the date — and we are committed to it. 💪🏼

La Junta, we cannot wait to open these doors and welcome you into Auggie’s Market! 🚀🚀🚀

So exciting!!

While we don’t have a specific date yet, we are still planning to open in May. 🙏🏻

It’s going to be tight and there is a chance it could push into June but we aren’t slowing down! 💪🏼

If you see someone asking for a date kindly let them know that we aren’t going to announce one until we are confident we can achieve it! When we do, everyone will know. 😁

We really appreciate all the love and support. ❤️ Stay strong the wait is almost over! 🚀

In celebration of Economic Development Week, we would love to hear about your success in the La Junta community!
