Compleat Lifestyles blends affordable living with world experience. The store offers a unique selection of gourmet kitchen products and housewares, gourmet food, gifts, seasonal décor and women’s accessories, with a special emphasis on Colorado-made, USA-made and fair trade products. “While the big-box retailers focus on mass-market products produced overseas, we seek out products that have meaning to the buyer as well as to the producer,” Stevinson explained. “It is our passion to bring awareness to the origins and nature of manufacture of all the products we sell, educating our customers so they can ‘Shop to Make a Difference.’”

Compleat Lifestyles currently employs 24 staff members, many of whom have been with the store for more than 15 years.
