Annie Oakley’s Emporium - Central City, Colorado

Doug W.

I was just there, and their staff shows up in the worst snow conditions daily and help a small town thrive. They are always kind and courteous, and the store is a Historical Landmark. I'm grateful 🙏 for Annie Oakleys. Thank you for keeping the town around in the good times and the bad. Five stars for your years of service to our mining town.

As for this one stop shop for goods. You can tell a lot about a dispensary by their Pre Roll. This dispensary has some real fire and for a genuine value. Given this remote mountain location it is appreciated, and you will too. Who does not like an Emporium?

Oh well it's very run down ... its a dispensary as well ... it's smart but should be mentioned ... I would not have went there. Cashier asked me for the pin of my card to type it in ... are you kidding me ... overpriced... there are other small grocery stores... which are better ... poor selection...

The dispensary is closed. Nobody’s there didn’t even have a sign up outside so instead you park and you walk all the way there for no reason at all.

This dispensary has been reopened, and it has incredible prices and selection.
$10 infused joints, $45/oz flower.
Very happy I stopped in again, best prices in town for sure.

Someone needs to teach the cashier that charging for items in the store that Already marked one price it’s illegal to charge a different one. Hope this guy loses his job.

I've come across this little section as it had just been sent to me.
After having read the few reviews, I feel obligated to comment. First, regarding Thomas M's post. Never ever have any samples been offered by the dispensary's part of the store to lure in customers, or for any other reason, especially in the main area of the place.
The grocery/liquor store is completely separate from the dispensary.
Different management, employees, all of it.
Neither of the two businesses are related whatsoever beside the owners of the building owning, well, the whole building. That's it.
So, not quite certain where you pulled that one from. I don't even care to imagine, thank you very much.
Next, concerning Mr. Karl R,'s little ditty. I am more than pleased of your avoiding Annie's during weekdays between 4pm to 11pm as that is when I am scheduled there and have been for the past 6 & 1/2 years. I'm finding it funny as I'm catching myself chuckling that you have had a not so pleasant experience during your visit while I was there working. I make it an absolute point to leave every bit of personal baggage at the front door before I even walk into the joint. Perhaps you may have been present during a shift in the midst of a pandemic? While being an 'essential', or shall I just say it like it is, 'disposable' worker during the whole thing, all if it. Making it a priority that you, (and all of the others that apparently didn't & still don't care, even a little bit, about any other people's well being), had access to beer, whiskey, milk, bread, condoms and of course TOILET PAPER to just get ya through to the next day. We were and still are there for YOU. All while being handed filthy money during coughing. gagging & sneezing spells. Some money being pulled out of moist, sweaty areas from people's bodies. Most not even caring about putting a mask on & when asked to please do so, being yelled at like it was my/our very own rule. This went on and on, every single day, all shift/ every shift for way over a year. So, please accept my most sincere apologies for your not being appropriately entertained during the very time where I PRAYED AND PRAYED I TOO COULD BE/WOULD BE ALLOWED to have just a little piece of my very own individual lockdown. Away from all of the mostly extremely rude, excruciatingly inconsiderate people who were just out and about wandering the streets during such a time of worldwide duress. Just a little piece of quarantine that I could call my very own?
My part of a safer side of the pandemic. Nope.
So, there I was, every weeknight, merely hoping that tonight wasn't the night I'd be passed a big chunk of Covid.
Every shift beginning with, 'Gosh, I sure hope that no one passes off their deadly illness to me tonight'.

So, once again, my utmost apologies.
Merry Christmas!

Just one more thing. Yes, the bosses prices are high.
Look around at where you are.
Where the locals survive without a,
*Gas station
*Bank
*Laundromat
*Library
*Regular restaurant NOT in a casino
*Dr OR dentist anywhere near
Not to mention a,
*Movie theater
*Roller rink...
*Walmart or even a little
*7-11.
THAT is where you are.
But, good luck tonight. I hope you win big!!!!
... & please, if you might be so kind,
PLEASE don't hand us sweaty money
🙁
Yuck.
