Food products such as farm-fresh organic eggs, local honey, sauces, oils and vinegars have continually been restocked. We provide curbside pick-up as well as store visits by appointment. We are now completely open to the public with health code rules applied.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText BoldIntro\">AT: What\u2019s the most important thing the community can do to support you?<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText BoldIntro\">AE: Make a purchase, in the store, online or curbside. No purchase is too small to show your support of a locally serving business. With the Saturday markets canceled this summer, you will find many of your favorite vendors with us inside and outside as weather permits. We are longtime locals, supporting local, and here for you the local!<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText BoldIntro\">AT: Where can we find your most current offerings and updates?<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText BoldIntro\">AE: We are now allowed to open our \u201cVictorian big top\u201d with masks and social distancing so you can come inside and experience the full collective of artists and vendors, as well as on social media and our website!<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText BoldIntro\">AT: What has been the best customer experience or comment you\u2019ve had since the crisis started?<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText BoldIntro\">AE: People calling us and emailing us to set in-store appointments or curbside drops in order to purchase products from our local artists. They have made a huge effort by doing this to \u201cbrave the virus\u201d and choose to support us!<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText BoldIntro\">AT: Is there anything else you\u2019d like to add regarding your business during the pandemic?<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText BoldIntro\">AE: Several of our artist and vendors are donating 100% of sales from their art this month to help keep our doors open. Things like that are what makes us a community and keep us here for you!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.aspentimes.com\/news\/local\/were-open-the-aspen-emporium-and-flying-circus\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">via:: The Aspen Times<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Aspen Emporium and Flying Circus is open for business right off Main Street in downtown Aspen.
