After three years of living in Colorado Springs, Colorado the search for good barbeque continues. Kansas City regularly oversupplies an eager market with copious amounts of barbeque. Colorado appears to take a different approach. Sampling barbeque restaurants typically involves traveling. A few years ago, Colorado Springs had a few more barbeque restaurants. Market conditions will always dictate the number of restaurants within a given metropolitan area. The total area occupied and the number people occupying the area define the size of the metropolis. In terms of population economics, a community of five hundred to one thousand people can support a single restaurant. If the population economic ratio holds true, then 1:1000 easily translates to 2:2000. Colorado Springs has a population of about four hundred thousand people. Not every restaurant operating within the market will well barbeque. Only a small percentage of the total restaurants operating within the market will sell barbeque. Google suggests Colorado Springs has over five thousand restaurants. Economically, Colorado Springs cannot successful support one operating restaurant per eighty people or population to restaurant ratio of 1:80.
