THE PARTY Marcus Lemonis, business investor and star of The Profit, expanded his Aspen presence with the opening of eponymous Marcus, a high-end retail store for women. The debut of Marcus was accompanied by the renaming of Runway (previously Courage b), another retail store under Lemonis’ investment portfolio. On a snowy night in December, the two stores opened for holiday shopping and socializing, with a horse-drawn carriage shuttling people between the two.
