Organization Overview

Your hosts, Richard Skorman and Patricia Seator, welcome you to Poor Richard’s, where Downtown Colorado Springs residents, employees and visitors have been making themselves at home for more than 50 years.

From simple beginnings as a bookstore and restaurant in 1975, Poor Richard's has evolved to become a downtown Colorado Springs landmark—a warm and friendly family of businesses under one roof that's the only one of its kind in the country. Throughout its history, Poor Richard's has been not only a downtown landmark and innovative business, but also an organization that strives to have a positive impact on our customers and our community.

We support local artisans and provide a venue for local musicians and artists.

We recognize the importance of environmental sustainability and are committed to reducing our impact on the environment.
