In late 2023, the city of Loveland announced that several businesses are opening their doors, expanding, or have announced plans to open in the City of Loveland.

“We welcome these businesses to the city and appreciate them choosing Loveland as their home. As the holidays approach, we encourage our residents to shop locally and support business owners in the community,” said Eva Wisby, Zoning and Economic Development Specialist for the City of Loveland.
