Chiles are roasting and mingling with the smells of spent leaves and fall mums, a favorite of many of us at Spencer's. Chile roasting is in high gear, roasting every flavor- mild Sonora, low/medium Anaheim, medium New Mexico, medium/hot Big Jim, and…

From now until after Thanksgiving, we will be closed on Sundays. Our hardworking employees deserve some much-needed extra time off from a busy few months.
