Growing up in the Roaring Fork Valley, Dusti Budd helped her dad and mom with the original Capitol Deli family restaurant. She continued to work in food service positions while earning a degree focusing on accounting and entrepreneurship. Years later, she jumped at the opportunity to own Capitol Deli, a local restaurant known for its Philly Cheesesteaks and homemade cheesecakes. She opened the doors to the new Rifle location two months before COVID hit and was forced to take on high interest debt to stay afloat. Her loan with FSWCF allowed Dusti to invest back in the business with new updates and marketing.

“The funding we got from FSWCF helped our family business blossom and flourish
the way we had envisioned after surviving the struggles of COVID.”
