Que's Espresso Longmont Open Again After $80k Tax-Debt Shutdown

LONGMONT, CO -- To the delight of its devoted customers, Que's Espresso in Longmont re-opened last week after the property was seized by the Colorado Department of Revenue on Feb. 7 after the business amassed almost $80,000 dollars in tax debt. Although the company's Longmont location is back brewing, according to employees, Que's Louisville shop at Avista Hospital remains closed for the time being.

"Que's is having a major issue with the CoDept of Revenue, and is closed," reported a notice posted the afternoon of Feb. 7 on the shop's Facebook page. "We plan on being open within several days."

A corresponding post five days later announcing the re-opening elicited a torrent of social media shouts in variants of "Yay!", "Hooray!", and "So happy!" from loyal customers.

A notice posted to the window of the Longmont shop that day indicated that the total tax debt was nearly $79,500, which owner Rob Quesenberry told the Times-Call that he has now paid.
