The deli tried to offer take-out and delivery after restaurants were shut down in mid-March to slow the spread of the virus, but it wasn\u2019t enough to make up the loss in sales.<\/p>\n<p>As a result, he had to close the store for good around March 24. Block estimated the restaurant saw as much as an 80% reduction in sales.<\/p>\n<p>Block said he still owns the Three Peaks name, but any plans to reopen elsewhere are at this time uncertain.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI want to cook for other people, that\u2019s what I like to do,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Gov. Jared Polis ordered all Colorado restaurants and bars to shut down March 16 as part of an aggressive push to flatten the curve of the coronavirus outbreak.<\/p>\n<p>Polis this week announced the state would slowly reopen some businesses, but it remains unclear which restaurants will open their doors. He has eyed a mid-May time frame, but no dates had been set as of Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p><em class=\"mwc_shirttail\"><a href=\"mailto:jromeo@durangoherald.com\">jromeo@durangoherald.com<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em class=\"mwc_shirttail\">An earlier version of this story incorrectly attributed the closing of Three Peaks Deli to the coronavirus outbreak.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>he planned to close in March<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":88906,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[685,11,29,450],"naviga_topic":[],"class_list":["post-88904","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-coronavirus-covid-19","tag-economy-general","tag-newsletter","tag-restaurant-and-catering"],"acf":[],"author_name":"dh_admin","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dh.durangoherald.com\/tj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/88904","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dh.durangoherald.com\/tj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dh.durangoherald.com\/tj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dh.durangoherald.com\/tj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dh.durangoherald.com\/tj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=88904"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/dh.durangoherald.com\/tj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/88904\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dh.durangoherald.com\/tj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/88906"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dh.durangoherald.com\/tj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=88904"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dh.durangoherald.com\/tj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=88904"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dh.durangoherald.com\/tj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=88904"},{"taxonomy":"naviga_topic","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dh.durangoherald.com\/tj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/naviga_topic?post=88904"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
