The business already sells tofu to Denver restaurants like Apple Blossom and Mercury Cafe, and they hope to get their product in local Natural Grocers and Whole Foods grocery stores in the near future

“We were committed to making it work, but housing was such a big part of that project, so we just weren’t able to do much on our own,” Roberts said. “But really the scope of our work, which we’re doing now in Trinidad remains unchanged, which is focusing on bringing high-paying jobs, paid apprenticeship and business focused on manufacturing and export into rural communities.”

“Trinidad’s local government wants business, so they offer a lot of incentives to lower some of the overhead,” Roberts said. “The state also has incredible grant opportunities for businesses, especially focused on exports. We wanted to have a business that’s not reliant on local volume and focused on building up the workforce by offering education, resources and support services, which just seemed to fit the needs of that community.

Roberts, Kuehl and Byers have been running the Hans’ former Northglenn plant since November, but they purchased a nearly 10,000-square-foot former Coca-Cola warehouse in Trinidad and plan to move Colorado Sun Tofu there in mid-June.
