Wellington is the coolest, please let me explain why. From local restaurants to local shopping, you can find something for everyone in Wellington.

I also grew up in Wellington, so I have a soft spot for that sweet little town North of Fort Collins.

Restaurants in Wellington

Need something quick? Fast food is a quick option with your choice of Taco Bell, McDonald's, and Burger King, and with all of them right off the interstate exit, you can be in and out of Wellington. But why would you want to leave so fast?

The T-Bar has been in Wellington for literal decades. From karaoke on Friday and Saturday night to an amazing homemade pie selection, you can't go wrong at the T-Bar.

Wellington Grill has the best salad in the United States. It has fresh green apples, cranberries, and blue cheese crumbles. It's the perfect summer lunch. You can also visit them for drinks at their well-stocked bar or a hearty dinner.

Slurpz. The name is really weird, but the sandwiches are fabulous. The way they mix salty and sweet gives you options you can't find anywhere else. I promise this will be one of your favorite locally owned and operated restaurants in Wellington.

Shopping in Wellington

Thistle is a tiny building with a big presence in the community. Not only can you buy fun and sometimes filthy merch, but you can also find clothes and gifts, just in case you're buying for someone a little more straight and narrow.
