Cosmo’s has been serving the Denver metro area since 1995. Since then, Cosmo’s has grown in both the bakery as well as a pet supplies store that caters to the quality and health of dogs and cats diets. 

The original goes that  Cosmo the cat shared his home with very likable dogs, but the chasing thing, and the slobbers on his head, were enough to make anyone see stars. To say the least, it was just a bit annoying for poor Cosmo. It was time to find a distraction for his dog pals. So, Cosmo persuaded his human companion, Laurin, to try making delicious, healthy treats as “decoys” for the dogs. IT WORKED!!!! Cosmos’s Dog Biscuit Bakery was founded in 1995 in a small shop in Denver – much to the delight of fellow felines and the canine community. Almost 30 years of making cats and dogs happy treat by treat.

Cosmo’s is owned and operated by a warm and spirited animal lover, along with a team of equally kind-hearted employees, all exhibiting the joy that our animals bring to us. We will always greet you and your furry pals with a smile and a treat. Cosmo’s Dog Biscuit Bakery is the first and possibly only dog biscuit bakery to have been founded by a CAT! To this day, Cosmo is with us in mind and spirit.We are known as the Birthday Hub of Colorado with our expansive line of birthday treats. Our personalized dog cakes are both creative and tasty!

Come in to check out our bakery in action while shopping for any essentials for dogs, cats, and now chickens!

Localworks is here to support your business in Wheat Ridge, specifically your growth and longevity in our community. We are thrilled to announce a new program that will continue to allow us to do this in new ways, a micro funding program within our Building Up Business Loan (BUBL). Not familiar with our BUBL program? No problem, here’s a quick synopsis. BUBL provides access to a no/low interest loan for brick and mortar improvements for Wheat Ridge business owners for up to $50,000 for a five year loan term. We know this is beneficial for many business owners in our community, but we have been working internally with leadership to understand MORE ways this program could evolve to support business owners growth in different ways. This is how the BUBL Micro Funding Program was born. The BUBL Micro Funding program offers a $5,000-$10,000 loan with no interest (if signed for a 12-month term) to allow you to get funds for things that simply would not be approved for a loan through a traditional lender. We’ve sat down with many small business owners in this innovation process to learn about what they need to succeed. Learn more below about some examples of what this loan can fund for you and your business. 

The BUBL Micro Funding loan allows you to do improvements to your business that may not be physically visible in your space but allow small business owners greater success in a near term. Examples include:

• Hire a strategic planning consultant to help with any of your business strategies.
• Hire a marketing professional so spruce up, start or create your website or social media channels.
• Work with Manufacturer’s Edge (a highly recommended company) that can help you identify operational inefficiencies. 

The best part about this loan program is that these are not your only options, you can submit a project proposal for our loan committee to review! Localworks has designed this new BUBL micro funding program to best serve YOU as a business in the Wheat Ridge community. To access our application and learn more, please click here.

I have always been fascinated by the power of food and how it affects the body. Food is a language communicating with cells and DNA shaping our health and well-being. When we consume healthy, whole foods, our bodies know exactly what to do.

However, when we consume unhealthy, toxic food, the lines of communication become unclear, creating confusion, inflammation, and a cascade of symptoms, including fertility struggles.

My own experience in reclaiming my health has given me the knowledge and purpose to guide others in finding their power to take control of their health and embrace the incredible potential that lies within them.

I started my practice by working with people dealing with GI dysfunction and autoimmune conditions. I am a health detective – I dig deep to uncover the underlying cause of my client’s health issues and guide them to learn how to listen to their bodies to make sustainable changes to reach their health goals.

Over time I realized that so many of my female clients were looking for relief because they wanted to start or grow their family.

This led me to create SoulFull Conception: PurposeFull Living for a Healthy Body, a Healthy Pregnancy, and a Health Baby. The focus is preconception planning, providing women and their spouses with the tools and knowledge to achieve optimal health before attempting to conceive.

SoulFull Conception is a comprehensive guide to natural fertility, offering individualized recommendations and expert guidance from me and a host of experts. Amazingly, 5 or more lifestyle changes can reduce infertility risk by 80%! The program prepares couples with a plan of action to ensure the health of the couple and their future baby.

Optimizing health today has the potential to positively influence the health of seven generations to come. Miracles can unfold when the power of food and lifestyle are embraced. We each possess the power to create a healthier and brighter future for ourselves and generations to come.

Food is life – Taste Life!

Here’s a message from one of Wheat Ridge’s new business owners! We are excited to have you in the Wheat Ridge community.

Hello, my name is Russell Wilbar and I own Artcentric, a new art gallery / frame shop / creative space here in Wheat Ridge. 

Artcentric is not just a name on a sign, it is truly what we are! A place where art is created, fostered, and appreciated. Imagination and kindness is as important as the brick and mortar!  

Not only is Artcentric a place that does conservation grade fine art framing, we also feature creative classes and coordinate Art Shows from local artists. 

As a picture framer, I have over 25 years experience working with artists, interior designers, and creative professionals to make their art and design projects look amazing and come in at a budget that works for their needs. Using over 12 different vendors, we have a wide array of frame styles and price points available. We do every part of the framing process in house, guaranteeing superior quality and efficient timelines. Artwork, family photos, concert posters, family keepsakes, or just that something special, can be made timeless with the right design and care and we would love to help. 

Framing is not all we do here. We are dedicated to being a creative outlet to our community by offering classes (at all skill levels) and curated shows from local and regional artists.  

Here at Artcentric we believe that being creative is key to emotional and mental health. We are dedicated to being a creative hub where people in the community can come by, create something special, and meet other creative art lovers. 

We are so happy to be here in the gallery @ 38 building, located at 7172 W. 38th Ave. right along the Ridge @ 38! Come on by. We would love to meet you!
