Gub Reader's Club
Est. 2023
Gub Gub's started with the idea of cultivating opportunity in an under-resourced area. Our namesake is a nod to our family cat, but she was named for a classic story book character, Gub Gub the Pig from the original Dr. Doolittle series. We couldn't think of anything more fitting for our name, as encouraging a passion for reading in youth is our most fundamental goal next to slinging great pizza!
In the many forms our community takes, one of our favorites is the Gub Reader's Club! Students across our region read 30 books, and win a free personal pizza for a job well done. Gub Gub's has partnered with the local non-profit Flamingo Book Club, as well as the Spanish Peaks Library District and La Veta Public Library to push this program out to as many students as possible. Our Grandma always said, "if you can read, you can do anything." We took those words to heart, and work to promote children's literacy in as many ways as possible!

Local Partnership
While children's literacy is our primary passion, we believe there are many facets of supporting a child's passion to learn, including ensuring they are well fed, clothed, and have access to as much programming as possible. We focus on creating strong relationships with local entities in an effort to bring free events, programming, opportunity, pizza and more to as many as possible.
Through our partnership with the Flamingo Book Club, we work to cultivate community events free to all and fun for everyone, from bringing the pizza to sponsoring prizes.
Through our partnerships with the Spanish Peaks Library District and La Veta Library District, we sponsor or provide special discounts for library events and programming in an effort to encourage local youth to utilize the incredible resources available to them right here in Huerfano County!
​
In our partnership with Dorcas Food and Clothing Pantry, we work to build fundraising, sponsor events to promote the community service achieved by Dorcas, and supply their volunteer-run organization with as much pizza as we can! As the only food and clothing pantry in the lowest income county on the Interstate 25 corridor in Colorado, we believe in their mission to feed and cloth as many as they can reach.
Supporting local efforts to create sustainable change in children's literacy, development, food security and access to opportunity is the fire that cooks our pizza! We truly believe there is no better place to live and grow than Southern Colorado.

Downtown Revitalization
Before Gub's, our owners would look at our property on Main Street every day, and dreamt of what the place could one day be. Through incredible mentors and community support, we were able to turn a closed building into another bustling spot on Main Street. It is our goal to see Downtown Walsenburg and its local businesses thrive through supporting local efforts for community events, creating fundraisers, flower baskets and pots, holiday lights, and more to bring the already vibrant community even more effervescent charm.
