New Closure Announced for BBQ Chain in Colorado

Keeping a restaurant going in Colorado does seem to get harder and harder with minimum wage and the cost of supplies increasing. A BBQ chain of restaurants has one less in Colorado.

BBQ hasn't always been my favorite kind of food, I'm not sure why. Maybe I had some bad BBQ at one point and it put me off of it. Many, many Coloradans do love BBQ, so it's a shame that one has closed down.

However, when one door closes another door opens. What's in store for the space after the BBQ restaurant officially exits?

In the last couple of years in Northern Colorado, we've seen the Dickey's in Loveland, and Windsor both shutter. Other states such as Idaho are seeing Dickey's close, as well. Serious Texas Bar-B-Q on the other hand, with their four Colorado-only locations is doing fine.
