What Colorado Springs's weather means for coffee shops
Coffee weather in Colorado Springs turns over twice a year, with July averaging a high of 87°F, so the counter needs an iced-season lineup for summer and a hot-drink lineup once highs fall. Fleece season runs long: highs average below 65°F from November to April, 6 months in all, so beanies and retail hoodies should reach the counter early in fall and stay into spring. January lows average 19°F, so openers need more than a hoodie: a lined jacket or insulated vest with the shop logo earns its place in the uniform. Roughly 33 inches of snow fall in a year, so promote a beanie and hoodie bundle when the first snow arrives, and give the opening crew a warm jacket for clearing the entrance. With about 160 nights a year at 32°F or below, the hot-drink season runs for months, so beanies and hoodies can hold their shelf space well beyond the holidays.
