The Melt, a rapidly growing fast casual restaurant chain based in San Francisco, is moving into Colorado, marking its first expansion outside of the restaurant’s home state of California.
The chain’s first of five planned Colorado locations opened this week at Park Meadows mall with four other Metro Denver locations set to open before the end of the year.
The Melt’s chef-inspired menu features 100 percent all-natural, wholesome and fresh ingredients to create an expansive offering of comfort food favorites such as: premium burgers, grilled cheese, fries, mac ‘n’ cheese and homemade soups, along with wine and a selection of locally brewed Colorado beers. The Melt has emerged as a leader in the fast casual restaurant space, recently earning honors as one of FastCasual.com’s Top 50 Brands of 2015.
Along with the Park Meadows location, The Melt plans to open four additional Metro Denver locations this year, including:
- 16th and Champa – 821 16th St. (September 2015)
- Village at the Peaks – 1232 S. Hover St., Longmont, (fourth quarter 2015)
- Southwest Plaza – 8501 W. Bowles Ave., Littleton, (fourth quarter 2015)
- Foothills Mall – 215 E. Foothills Parkway, Fort Collins, (fourth quarter 2015)
“Since The Melt opened its first restaurant in San Francisco, we’ve been focused on fulfilling our founding mission of providing better food for our kids, creating jobs and delivering happiness to each and every guest,” said Jonathan Kaplan, founder and CEO of The Melt.
The Melt chose Colorado as its first market outside of California because the state is at the forefront of the better-for-you food movement, a movement The Melt has supported since its founding.
“Expansion into Colorado is a first and exciting step in The Melt’s long-term plans for continued growth,” Kaplan said. We’re excited to become a part of the Colorado community and look forward to welcoming Colorado guests to our restaurants.”
