Presented by Billo Premium Cannabis, Eli chats with Scott and Kristy Fox
Scott and Kristy Fox have become integral figures in the Steamboat Springs community through their work as restaurateurs and community supporters. Their journey began with their successful ownership of two popular restaurants: Winona’s, a well-loved downtown eatery known for its bakery and breakfasts, and Freshies, a restaurant that earned the Steamboat Chamber’s 2018 Navigator Award for Business of the Year.
Freshies, launched in 2003, quickly became a go-to spot for locals and tourists alike, thanks to the Foxes’ commitment to providing high-quality, healthy meals with an emphasis on fresh, local ingredients. This dedication to service and quality was recognized when Freshies won the Navigator Award, which is given to businesses that exemplify leadership, community involvement, and customer service. The award celebrated how Freshies had not only become a culinary staple but also a symbol of the Foxes’ positive impact on the local economy and culture.
Scott and Kristy’s influence extends far beyond their restaurants. In addition to their contributions to Steamboat’s food scene, Scott Fox has been heavily involved with the Steamboat Free Summer Concerts, serving on its board. His involvement with this non-profit organization reflects his and Kristy’s passion for live music, which plays a vital role in Steamboat’s cultural life.
The couple’s latest business venture, Easy Street Rides, is another testament to their entrepreneurial spirit and commitment to service in Steamboat. This transportation service adds a convenient, friendly option for locals and visitors, offering rides for everything from tours to event shuttles. The Foxes’ influence continues to shape the community, whether through business, music, or personal connections, making them beloved figures in Steamboat Springs.
