The KFC Franchise, opened in 1973.

History

Established in 1995

Starting as the original Dairy-Land Drive-In, the Kilpatrick family owned and operated the property. Then around 1970, the Kilpatrick’s decided to bring in a KFC franchise.

 

In 1973 the Dairy-Land Drive-In was removed, and construction began to build a KFC. The property remained owned by the Kilpatrick family, but the KFC business was purchased by Mr. Kohl.

 

In the early 1990’s, the KFC franchise was closed. However, business continued to blossom as the bar Roosters Roost opened. After maintaining business for a couple of years, The Point Bar & Grill opened in 1995, known for its food, great choice of drinks and California beach vibes.

New Beginnings

In the summer of 2025, Zane Heavner and Hunter Lewis became owners of The Point. With goals of maintaining the excellent quality of food, friendly hard-working bartenders, and welcoming atmosphere.

Always looking for his next adventure, Zane Heavner retired from the army in 2021, serving for over 25 years, 20 as a Green Beret for the Special Forces. After decades of leadership, worldwide adventures, and selfless service, a medical emergency would cause a drastic change in his life. The food and bar business has always been something that has intrigued Zane, and with a almost lifelong experience of being a leader, becoming a bar owner was a seamless pivot once he left the Army.

Hunter Lewis has always had his life revolve around community and business, with his grandfather establishing Bill’s Equipment Rental & Supply. Hunter and his brother Wylie are the third generation operating the company. Their business is both their livelihood and their passion, and they take pride in serving the Colorado Springs community. Being an avid supporter and loyal customer to The Point for years, when the opportunity came for him and Zane to come in as the new owners, he did not hesitate to take the chance to serve others and support his favorite local bar.
