A Minnesota-based fast casual restaurant offering healthy dishes is expanding into Colorado with its first location opening in Denver at the end of April, and five more locations headed this way soon.
CRISP & GREEN Denver franchise owner Pete Dwyer said in a statement that they are trying to bring a very strong presence to Denver, which is a great fit for the brand. The first Colorado CRISP & GREEN is scheduled to open at 7111 E. Lowry Blvd., Ste. 100, Denver, CO 80230.
“People across the nation are looking for healthy food options, especially the extremely active Denver communities, which is why it seemed like the perfect fit to bring CRISP & GREEN to Lowry,” Dwyer said.
Steele Smiley founded CRISP & GREEN in 2016 to offer convenient and healthy options to guests. Since then, CRISP & GREEN has expanded into Texas, South Dakota, and Nebraska, and franchises are now planned for Florida, Arizona, Tennessee, and New Jersey, as well as the Colorado locations.
“Denver is a thriving city, full of individuals who are seeking high-quality foods with just as much flavor. We are grateful to be able to meet this demand with our healthy and fresh menu items, and we look forward to expanding rapidly so we can serve more of the Denver community for years to come,” Smiley said.
Beyond providing nutritious and convenient salads, grain bowls, and smoothies to the community, CRISP & GREEN is also known for its frequent partnerships with local fitness studios and certified trainers to offer complimentary workouts, typically held near the restaurant on the patio or in the parking lot. Through its mix of healthy meals and physical exercise, the brand aims to promote a culture of living and eating well, or “Living Crisp.”
As CRISP & GREEN continues its expansion into the Denver area, the team is focused on connecting with local communities, fitness studios, and ambassadors to create a community center that goes beyond serving food.
