The economy in Telluride is thriving, with good opportunities for employment available. As is to be expected, many of the work opportunities are involved in some aspect of tourism. However, thanks to such technology as DSL service and T1 lines, opportunities for telecommuting and home-business operations exist as well.

Retail opportunities also exist in Telluride. In fact, several clothing manufacturers started in Telluride, including Jagged Edge and Horny Toad. Astara, a popular line of skin care products, originated in Telluride as well. Professional services may also thrive in this area. In addition, the community supports artistic pursuits.

Telluride doesn't have any stoplights. It is also completely bereft of chain restaurants and grocery stores. Furthermore, you're unlikely to find drive-through services in this town. Though such businesses can offer conveniences, many consider their absence in Telluride part of the area's allure.

Telluride is home to lovely boutiques, art galleries, and clapboard storefronts. There are also banks, title companies, and several mortgage companies. Recently, a Business Task Force has formed in Telluride, dedicated to encouraging a healthy economic environment.
