Our community loved welcoming Chihera Family Band to Stanley!

The Chihera Family Band is a Colorado-based, three-generation Zimbabwean family ensemble blending Afrojazz with traditional and contemporary Zimbabwean music. Through vocals, mbira, marimba, percussion and more, they share the sounds and stories of Zimbabwe while celebrating family, culture and connection.

It was such a joy to see our community gather around their music. Thank you to the Chihera Family Band for sharing your incredible talent and energy with Stanley. We hope to have you back again soon!

Join us as we continue celebrating our Latin owned businesses here at Stanley Marketplace!

For Raquela “Rocky” Serber, owner of Elita, food has always been an expression of love. Growing up between Mexico, Baja, San Diego, and Los Angeles, Rocky remembers dragging chairs up to the stove as a five-year-old, too small to reach it on her own but already discovering the comfort she found in cooking and making people happy through food.

Years later, she spent eight formative years living in Israel, where she continued developing her identity as a chef. Those two parts of her life, Mexico and Israel, now come together in the Latin-Mediterranean food and flavors of Elita.

One recipe carries an especially meaningful memory: Elita’s Salsa Tatemada. Rocky remembers watching it being made in Mexico when she was around nine years old. The woman preparing it didn’t always have much to put on the table, but Rocky knew that when she saw that salsa being made, whatever else ended up on the plate was going to be good. Today, her version of that salsa can be found throughout Elita’s menu and in its grab-and-go offerings.

Rocky’s path to owning Elita has its own unlikely story. She originally came to Stanley for a job at Juniper Pig, eventually taking over the business and transforming it into Elita. She signed her lease the same day the COVID shutdown was announced. She took the risk anyway, and boy did it pay off.

Now, Rocky says some of her greatest pride comes from the people who have grown alongside the business, the consistency they’ve built together, and everything they’re able to accomplish in such a small space.

Before Stanley Marketplace was Stanley Marketplace, it was a dilapidated aviation building that Javi and his family passed on their regular running route.

But where others might have seen an old industrial site, they saw potential. Cheluna began with an idea to put down roots in Colorado and create something they felt was missing from the craft b**r scene: a Latin-owned brewery and taproom where Mexican heritage wasn't an addition to the story, it was part of its foundation.

That heritage shows up everywhere. It's in Lowrider Mexican L***r and b**rs inspir

This Latin Heritage Month we are featuring the stories of our Latinx owned businesses. Let's start with la casa de artesania

For Monica, the owner and founder of Casa Artesanias, every piece has a story, and every story starts with the hands that made it.

The idea for Casa Artesanias began during a trip to Mexico, where Monica visited small villages and saw an opportunity to bring a piece of Mexican craftsmanship home to share with others. Today, the shop is filled with handcrafted pieces made in Mexico, from colorful ceramics and warm, one-of-a-kind home goods to the traditional stone molcajete, a tool whose history stretches back generations and remains at the heart of Mexican kitchens today.

But what she’s most proud of isn’t any one piece. “I am proud of all the artisans who dedicate their lives to making every product I have in my shop.”

For her, Latin Heritage Month is also a celebration of identity, roots, and the freedom to share them proudly. She describes her heritage as rhythm, color, flavor, art, tradition, and above all, human warmth. We are so proud to celebrate with Casa Artesanias and the artisans, traditions, and stories represented throughout the shop.

Dr. Cristina Hartman is the owner of MindCraft Makerspace and curiosity has always been part of the equation for her.

A scientist, educator, mother, and small-business owner with a Ph.D. in Chemistry, Cristina spent her career in research and development before finding a new way to bring together the things she loved most: science, art, education, and creativity. That love of learning started early for Cristina. Growing up in Puerto Rico, she remembers her dad teaching her fractions before she even started kindergarten “and I loved every part of it (pun intended!).”

In 2021, she purchased MindCraft Makerspace at Stanley and began a whole new learning experience: becoming a small-business owner.

Today, MindCraft gives kids and adults a place to experiment, create, build new skills, and experience the confidence that comes from turning an idea into something real. Cristina credits her Puerto Rican upbringing: strong family ties, resilience, hard work, humor, and a “can do” attitude, with
