Five teacher-friendly businesses in Fort Collins, Colorado
Teachers have hard jobs. Pay is low, expenses are high and students and parents never give them a break. Fortunately, there are businesses everywhere that feel sympathy towards teachers, and offer them nice things, often in the form of discounts for that business.
Here are five of the best teacher-friendly places in Fort Collins and Northern Colorado.
- Staples
Staples doesn’t quite offer straight-up discounts, but it does still accommodate teachers with its Teacher Rewards Program. Using this program, teachers get 5% in points back on all purchases and 10% back on classroom purchases. The Fort Collins Staples is located in the Front Range Village off of Harmony Road.
2. Michael’s
Michael’s offers 15% off all purchases every day, in-store and online, and all that’s required is a valid school ID. The Fort Collins Michaels is off of South College Avenue and East Troutman Parkway.
3. Joann Fabrics
With more than 865 locations nationwide, it isn’t hard to find a Joann Fabrics near you, which is fortunate for teachers.

4. Barnes and Noble
Barnes and Noble, the national bookstore, offers educators 20% off their classroom purchases and 25% off list price during their Educator Appreciation Days. In Fort Collins, Barnes and Noble is located on South College Avenue between Harmony and Horsetooth Roads.
