Bombers opens in Breckenridge

It’s “bombs away” for Bombers, an eating place which recently opened in Breckenridge. The business is owned by Heather Brown. She runs the business herself with help from her mother, Patty Newman.
Bombers opened in the middle of May, but the kitchen wasn’t set up to serve food until the first of June.
Bombers has candy, snacks, ice, and beer. There are tables and chairs for inside dining, a pool table, a juke box, and a picnic table outside.
The menu includes cheddar bits, cheeseburgers, fries, hot dogs, tater tots, tenderloins, chicken strips, onion rings, pepper jack bits, and pizza. For dessert you can choose between an ice cream bowl, a drumstick, or a shake.
In the future, Heather is thinking of doing specials like steak night and taco night. Once she gets settled, she is also going to try to get a hard liquor license. Hours are from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Wednesday. The business may stay open a little later Thursday through Saturday. They are closed Sunday.
“Come check Bombers out,” Heather says. “Come eat, have a drink.”
As a sideline, Heather has a taxi service. “Don’t laugh,” she says. “I have five teenagers.”
She’s willing to travel between 40 to 50 local miles if you need a ride.
She also has a dental lab located inside the Bombers building. Heather has been doing dental work since 1997. She started working in Kansas City, opened her own lab in Mooresville, and then moved the lab inside her home in Breckenridge in 2008.
Heather owns the building located at 33061 Yard Avenue (M Highway). She had a business there before called Town and Country. She then leased it as the Getting Place, which was there for a couple of years.
She has now opened back up as Bombers, which was the nickname for her father when he was a kid.
“People need a place to go,” she says. “There’s no sense in letting the building waste away. It gives the town and the surrounding area someplace to go.”
Heather and her husband Donnie Brown have two boys, 16 and 18, are the legal guardians of two girls, 14 and 16, and are fostering a 15-year-old. The teens attend school at Ludlow. Donnie works for Infasource, a utility and pipeline operation.
