So this is interesting, the Daily Camera is reporting that Trader Joe’s is coming to Boulder. And the rumor mill claims they are coming to the 29th Street Mall, home of Modmarket. We would love having our favorite grocery chain as a neighbor, though, we hope they are far enough away that the billion or so people flocking there every weekend leave enough parking for the rest of us!

We now do delivery
Modmarket Catering in Denver and Boulder — 2/18/2010
The thing I miss most about living in NYC is that EVERY restaurant would deliver food to you. It was an awesome service that I took advantage of quite often. Living in Boulder, the only food I know of that will deliver to my house in South Boulder is BAD chain pizza places. Not exactly my cup of tea. We had wanted to try delivery with Modmarket since the day we opened, but it has taken us a while to sort everything out so that we could give it a shot. Starting today, we are delivering food within the red dashed lines on the top of this post. Basically, if your address has Boulder as the city, we can deliver to you. It takes about 45 min (really depends on how close you live/work to our store) from when you call till we get to your door. The fee is $4.00 per delivery, which seems pretty reasonable to us, especially if more than one person is on the order. To place an order, just call us at 720. 663. 9440 and we will get things going for you. With the weather predicted to be COLD and YUCKY over the next few days, it might be a good time to turn on the Winter Olympics, dial up Modmarket and enjoy some pizza and soup without leaving the couch! Oh, one more thing – the hours for delivery are everday 11am till 2pm and 5pm till close!
Nutritional Info on Receipts now live!
Modmarket Catering in Denver and Boulder — 12/7/2009
Took us a little longer to get all the systems playing nicely together, but we have finally started to report the nutritional information of our food on our receipts! While I am not one who believes calories or fat intake are the end all be all of a healthy diet (eat real foods, not a ton of them, and for most people things will work out ok), I think it is really important for people to be aware of how energy dense the foods they consume are. Further, I think a lot of people have no idea what an actual meal is calorie or fat wise and our receipts will help change that. Most food packaging reports per serving size, but no one ever eats that amount (9 out of 10 times they eat more than that). Our receipts report the exact composition of the food item you are given. Pretty straightforward. We have about 80% of our flatbreads live right now and should have our salads updated in the system in the next 24 hours. We are the first restaurant in Colorado to use this technology (there is a hospital in Colorado Springs that uses it as well) so we are pretty excited to roll it out! Stop by, order some food and check out the details of your order on your receipt!

Modmarket Loves Moxie Mom’s
Modmarket Catering in Denver and Boulder — 10/1/2009
So moms tend to love Modmarket. It could be the fact that our food is pretty good for you and reasonably priced or maybe the fact that kids LOVE to eat our flatbreads, we have lots of parking (perfect for stroller wielding patrons) and our ambiance is clean and relaxing. Whatever the reasons may be, we have recently partnered with an awesome group in Boulder called Moxie Mom’s. If you have not heard of them, check out their website here. Basically they are a networking group for moms and they have all sorts of great benefits for their members. We are happy to offer all Boulder Moxie Mom’s a 15% discount at the Mod. Hope to see them (and their kiddies) in here soon!
Modmarket in the Daily Camera
Modmarket Catering in Denver and Boulder — 9/14/2009
The Daily Camera, Boulder’s local paper, mentioned Modmarket in a nice little writeup last week. You can view it here. I have been amazed at how many people have come into the store b/c they saw the article. Print media is definitely alive and well in Boulder!
Eat Healthy, Save On Healthcare Costs
Modmarket Catering in Denver and Boulder — 7/27/2009
File this one in the ‘well that makes sense’ category. A new study was released today which showed that 9.1% of ALL healthcare spending is related to obesity. This is up from 6.5% in 1998. Click here to read the article.
If more people ate the kinds of foods we are serving up at modmarket, our country could save billions of dollars in health care costs. More importantly, I think all the people who were no longer obese would feel a lot better too! (more…)
