| This spring Terry Carmichael purchased the
Stonewall Shopping Bag, then spent months cleaning and remodeling the facility.
As you arrive, you’ll notice the newly painted exterior and wonderful
custom-made signage out front. When entering, the new lighting and paint scheme
surrounds you. The dining room is freshly painted and decorated to match
Stonewall’s beauty, and Terry is collecting old photographs of the area to
complete the decor. The kitchen was remodeled, and new flooring, plumbing and
all new electric service was installed. The food storage and preparation areas
were also extensively remodeled. |

The Stonewall Shopping Bag is a multi-faceted business. The
restaurant seats 46 and boasts a breakfast served all day, including an awesome
Stonewall Breakfast Burrito. Pies, cookies, and muffins are made fresh on-site.
The menu has been expanded with burgers, fries and green chili, as the local
favorites, while the to-go orders are popular with fishermen. The grocery store
is sufficiently stocked to serve locals, tourists, and seasonal visitors. Even
the liquor store has expanded and a gift /antique shop is located in the lower
level. The RV area has been revamped to accommodate the many people who live and
work in the surrounding area, and each site now has high-speed internet,
satellite TV, and a direct phone line. To further serve the campers, the
laundromat has been remodeled with updated plumbing, fresh paint, and video
games
.
Terry has extensive history in this area. Her mother was born
and raised near Aguilar and her father grew up in Trinidad. Although Terry grew
up in Pueblo where her parents taught school, she attended Western State College
in Gunnison and Colorado State University, then began working in the food
manufacturing industry with such companies as Carnation, A&P, and Kraft. Her
work took her to Iowa, Indiana, New York, Minnesota and Texas. By 1990, she
opened her own management consulting firm specializing in process improvement
and Total Quality Management with extensive travel. Retiring in 1998, she
fulfilled a lifelong dream by returning to the family cabin in Stonewall. Terry
invites you to come by for a visit and see the improvements. She and her team of
friendly employees look forward to serving you. Business hours are from 6:30am
to 8pm, every day.
