Colorado Getting 7 New Fried Chicken Spots

Colorado chicken restaurants better get ready, as a California-based chain will be opening their first locations outside of California here in the Centennial State.

Starbird Chicken Headed to Colorado

They just keep coming: These chicken places that see Colorado as their next big success. Raising Cane's, Dave's Hot Chicken, Popeye's, to name a few. I hadn't heard of this Starbird place until it was announced that they're coming.

It looks like a place that used to be a marijuana dispensary will become Colorado's first Starbird location, according to the Denver Post; along Colorado Boulevard south of Cherry Creek.

This is a chain that started out in 2016, and has 17 locations around Los Angeles. They're not huge, but apparently, they are expanding. A franchise group in Denver will be opening seven around Denver, with hopes of several more (hopefully around Fort Collins) in the years after.

RestaurantBusinessOnline put out a list of things you should know about Starbird Chicken, including:

• All the chicken is anti-biotic free; the coating is gluten-free.
• Salads make up about 30% of all of their sales.
• They have an education program, giving employees up to $5,000 for studies.

Though these first locations in Colorado aren't in Northern Colorado, at least it's better than them opening in Colorado Springs (like a lot of chains do.)

Starting in Denver, makes it easier for Northern Colorado to see at least a few Starbirds in the coming years.
