In 2018, Duane Farnum used his retirement savings to open Blue Sports Grille (originally named Blue 32). Duane’s wife Sarah – who is the main breadwinner – also invested heavily in the bar.
According to the episode synopsis, “Duane’s unwillingness to listen has affected more than just his business. With his bar and marriage on the brink, Duane struggles to keep the bar afloat for his son to take over.”
The bar is reportedly losing over $4,000 a month, with Duane and Sarah sinking into $300,000 of debt.
During the rescue, which happened back in June 2022, Jon decided to change the name of Blue Sports Grille to Colorado Champions Sports Cafe.
