All the hours are on the web site I think it is open 9-2.
Gonna be going this coming Saturday to the Aurora one, probably about noon or so.
Aurora store is open Mon, Tue, Thus and Sat from 9-3:30 and Wed 9-8:30. Closed Fri and of course Sun. Got this from the voicemail greeting, their number is 303-371-7650.
I'll just pile on much of what has already been said: I'm relatively new to canning and long-term storage. Most of my prior practice was storing MREs and Mountain home meals. I went with a couple of buddies to the LDS facility in COS and was blown away at how kind and knowledgable the people were. They were friendly (not unexpected having worked with LDS folks before), but also very eager to be helpful and the amount of food I got for $77 was impressive. The hours are a little tricky, but it was well worth the trip and I plan on going there repeatedly until my storage needs are complete. Long and short, newbies should give it a try. They welcome new people with no knowledge. No prosthelytizing, just good people doing good works.
FYI - the local Colorado Springs Prepper's group did have a nice field trip to the Colorado Springs facility. They also had a followup canning event earlier this month.
I went to the Aurora center this past weekend. I picked up a "starter kit" to play with the items. Very nice people. Got the grand tour of the canning side as well. Cannot say enough good about the experience and will be back.Quote:

Heading out to the Aurora location this morning. I'll report back.
LDS
Dry Pack
303 371 6675
3233 fraser street
Look for three large silo's they told me.
This place is pretty cool, yet so simple. Picked up a starter pack, six cans of primary items. Wheat, rice, beans etc.
I'm going to work with some friends and family to go pick up and Can/package some other items I want to store. As stated by others, nice people, canning room is a neat setup.
Link to their order form, same form used at the warehouse in Aurora.
