SOUL HAUS LTD, LLC

What SOUL HAUS LTD, LLC does

SOUL HAUS LTD, LLC is a family-owned Colorado retail operator founded in 1999 by Stephanie Shearer and Chris Bacorn, headquartered in Aurora, Colorado. The company owns and operates six distinct boutique sub-brands in the Denver metro area: Pandora on the Hill, Soul Haus, Peppermint, Grind Haus Tea & Coffee, Squadron, and Trunk Nouveau. These stores sell unique, affordable gifts, jewelry, and locally sourced artisan products, with Trunk Nouveau anchored at Stanley Marketplace (2501 Dallas Street #170, Aurora). The company has been recognized by Westword as Denver's 'Best Small-Business Empire' and certified by the State of Colorado as a Certified Green Business for upcycling, reuse, and recycling practices.

The company's go-to-market is direct-to-consumer physical retail targeting local Denver/Aurora community shoppers seeking gifts with a social impact. Revenue derives from one-time purchase transactions at individual boutique price points across the six storefront locations; the e-commerce webstore (denvergiftstore.com) operated for 25 years before being closed. The business model emphasizes curated local and regional artisan partnerships, ethical and sustainable commerce, and community philanthropy — donating 6% of company profits to non-profit organizations including the Spectacled Bear Conservation Society. With 5 stated employees operating six locations, the company functions as an 'Entrepreneur Incubator' where 12+ former staffers have launched their own businesses.

From a technology and capital perspective, the company is bootstrapped and founder-controlled with no external funding rounds, no patents or trademarks, no API or proprietary software, and no AI/ML capabilities. Core technology is limited to conventional physical retail operations supported by a basic GoDaddy-powered website. Distribution is concentrated in the Colorado market, with global footprint claims absent and the webstore channel recently retired.
