Gigi’s Cupcakes in Littleton, Colorado is owned by sisters Lindsey Cockrum and Kristin Swartz.
Kristin is a graduate of Chatfield Senior High and received her RN from Arapahoe Community College. Kristin’s husband is a graduate of Littleton High School and Colorado State University. Kristin and her husband moved back to Littleton after attending CSU and are now raising their family here.
After living away from her family for 12 years, Lindsey relocated back to Colorado 3 years ago with her husband and son. We feel so fortunate to be living in such a beautiful city and becoming a part of such an incredible community!
Our journey that brought us to owning a Gigi’s has been very exciting!
Our father and uncle are both songwriters in Nashville and we discovered Gigi’s Cupcakes while visiting them. In June of 2009, we purchased our first dozen Gigi’s Cupcakes from the original Nashville store located on Broadway. During each visit, we would buy dozens of cupcakes and eat them all, raving about how delicious and unique they were! When our dad happened to go on a fishing retreat with Alan Thompson, the president of Gigi’s, he discussed the possibility of our family opening a store in Littleton and our dream began!
We are extremely proud of our bakery and the beautiful center that we are a part of! We have ten very talented and exceptional full-time and part-time employees.
We love supporting events and charities in our local community by providing donations. Here are a few that we have donated to:
- Various local churches and schools
- Kendall and Taylor Atkinson Foundation (supports scientific and medical research for Fanconi anemia and other cancers)
- Back in the Swing (celebrates and supports breast cancer survivors)
- Susan G. Komen 3 Day Walk (Kristin participated in the walk and Gigi’s Littleton donated in support)
