On a joy-filled day, precisely on June 1, 2001, the charming town of Florence, Colorado witnessed the inception of a culinary journey unlike any other, courtesy of the dynamic duo, Pat and Linda, two sisters with an unwavering passion for creating extraordinary dining experiences. With the added magic touch of a mom and an aunt, their collaborative efforts birthed a wildly successful restaurant that quickly became a cherished community hub.
As the sisters crafted a menu of delectable delights, they also carefully selected a team that became an extended family, dedicated individuals who, astonishingly, continue to be an integral part of the Two Sisters family even today. This enduring commitment reflects not only the delectable dishes served but also the nurturing environment cultivated by the sisters, where every team member is valued and appreciated.
The narrative took an emotional turn in 2003 when the matriarch of the family, Mama Linda, passed away. However, with resilience and a shared commitment to excellence, Pat shouldered the responsibility, joined by Linda’s daughter, Cinda, and Aunt Connie, ensuring that the legacy of Two Sisters not only endured but thrived.
In a poignant twist, 2013 marked the year when Pat joined Mama Linda beyond the veil, leaving the reins in the capable hands of Cinda. Six years later, Cinda’s dedication to the family legacy reached new heights as she purchased the restaurant from Aunt Connie, allowing her to retire and ensuring the torch was passed seamlessly to the next generation.
December 2023 witnessed a significant chapter in the Two Sisters saga as the restaurant relocated from Florence, CO, to its current picturesque setting in Penrose, CO. Nestled in what was once a bar and grill, the new location offers not just a change of scenery but also stunning views of the surrounding mountains, creating a dining experience that engages both the palate and the senses.
Amidst the excitement of the move, Cinda made a heartfelt decision to maintain a unique characteristic of Two Sisters – the absence of a liquor license. This choice, deeply personal, stems from a tragic event in the family’s history, as Cinda’s father was a victim of a drunk driving incident. Despite the move to a former bar, the restaurant stands as a testament to the values that have defined it from the beginning – a commitment to family, and community, and creating an inviting space where patrons can relish not only exceptional cuisine but also the warmth of genuine hospitality. The Two Sisters team eagerly looks forward to welcoming guests to their new home in Penrose, where delicious food, breathtaking views, and ample parking await, promising an experience that goes beyond the ordinary.
