🏠 Why Colorado Homeowners Aren’t Selling

🥪 Bodega Rebrands as Odie B’s
New name, same cult-followed sandwiches for sale. Popular Sunnyside brunch joint Bodega has officially changed its name to Odie B’s following a cease-and-desist order from a restaurant in Kansas City called La Bodega. The rebrand cost the business nearly $10,000. [Denver Post 🔒]
