The Stagecoach Inn property, 702 Manitou Ave., has been showing signs of activity for the first time in months. A dumpster from D2 Demo & Dirt and a drain service truck could be seen there in mid-April. 

The historic restaurant’s owner, Pawel “PJ” Jakubczyk, has been battling a class-action lawsuit from former employees and is in the process of declaring Chapter 11 bankruptcy. He has been ordered to appear in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Denver on Wednesday, May 11, for a status conference.

His company, PBJAK LLC, is still listed as the owner in the El Paso County Assessor’s records. Its total market value, including the building and the land, is $972,813.
