The Steamboat Pilot & Today showcased Steamboat Springs’ newest barber shop this week in an article detailing the latest addition to the Victoria. The Victoria’s first business opened Friday, November 7th. Owners, Barb and Kenny Porteous are excited about the adventure ahead as Steamboat only genuine Barber Shop.
The development, located at 10th Street and Lincoln Avenue, is home to 10th Street Barber Shop. Barb Porteous started cutting hair and shaving whiskers upon opening.
Developers Denise and Steve Peterson also will have an office in the building. Steve Peterson got a haircut from Porteous on Friday morning.
“We’re excited for them,” Denise Peterson said. “It’s a very nice place. I think it’s a great idea, and they’ve done their tenant finishes very nicely.”
The Porteouses currently have the only business operating in The Victoria. An accountant and an Edward Jones representative also are finishing spaces in the three-story building, Denise Peterson said.
The Diplomat, a fine dining restaurant owned by Morten and Ellen Hoj, holds a spot near the Porteouses’ shop. The Hojs operate the Yacht Club and have delayed The Diplomat’s opening, Morten Hoj said.
More retail and office space is available in the 47,000-square-foot Victoria, Denise Peterson said. That square footage includes underground parking and seven residential units, all of which remain available.
