Frontier Mall Welcomes New Slime Shop Benefiting Colorado Pig Rescue

Frontier Mall in Cheyenne adds a new retail tenant near the interior entrance to Dillard's this weekend. The space now houses Slimeology, a store where customers build their own slime products. The opening marks the first physical location for the business, which previously operated through pop-up events.

The store features an assembly line format similar to a sandwich shop. Customers select base slime types and add ingredients such as glitter, beads, and scents. The layout is designed to accommodate group activities, including birthday parties for children. Owner Krysta Steinmark noted that the location will operate at least through the holiday season.

Steinmark stated that the primary goal of the venture is to generate revenue for an animal rescue organization in Pierce, Colorado. The Steinmark family founded Chris P's Rescue and Rehabilitation in 2021. The sanctuary originally provided care for pigs, including one named Christopher who became seriously ill. The organization has since expanded to include animals facing abuse and other difficult circumstances.

"Kids don't have much to do anymore except for be on an iPad or their phone," Steinmark said. "They don't get out much. If you can find something to do that's fun, we want to provide that." She added that the rescue requires ongoing funds for medical bills, rehabilitation, and therapy for animals with special needs.

The Steinmarks started the slime business in June to raise these funds. They initially sold products at festivals and craft shows before receiving a proposal from mall administration two weeks ago. The family secured necessary permits and licenses within that short timeframe to finalize the lease.

The store opens at 10 a.m. on Saturday, Nov. 14. Visitors can create custom slime immediately upon arrival. The owners plan to host organized events in the coming weeks. They will remain in the location through the holidays to support their rescue work.

If community response is strong, the Steinmarks said they may extend their stay in the mall. The location offers a direct connection with local customers, a factor they considered when committing to the permanent space.
