What Colorado Springs's weather means for restaurants and bars
Average highs reach 70°F only from May to September, so the long-sleeve staff tee gets more use than the short-sleeve one, and the summer retail tee should launch at the start of that window. Staff layers come out for 6 months a year, November to April, so a logo hoodie or jacket is standard kit and a strong seller at the register through the holidays. From winter nights well below freezing to the heat of summer, the year asks for staff apparel in two weights, so keep the logo and colors identical on the tee and the hoodie. Around 33 inches of snow a year means staff often arrive cold and wet in winter, so order staff hoodies in a dark color that hides salt and slush stains. About 160 nights a year drop to 32°F or below, a third of the year or more, so beanies and hoodies are core staff kit and the backbone of the winter retail shelf.
