Cafe Colore has been a long time staple of Writer's Square and ILLEGAL Restaurant Group is proud to have the opportunity to continue this great location's success by now opening an ILLEGAL BURGER in its place. Through this recent acquisition of assets, IBGR is already in the process of renovating this third location. This will be the largest restaurant to date for the ILLEGAL BURGER and Bar Fast Casual Chain with an indoor seating capacity of 78 and an outdoor patio area that seats 70.
Writer's Square is located within the heart of Denver's LoDo District, which has become one of the anchors for Downtown Denver, and the "go-to" place for shopping, restaurants, entertainment, and nightlife. ILLEGAL BURGER is located one block away from the famous 16th Street Pedestrian Mall; across from Larimer Square, as well as across the street from Denver's premier comedy club, Comedy Works, and 3 universities: the University of Colorado DBS, University of Colorado-Denver, and University of Colorado DAC. This new location will allow ILLEGAL BURGER to serve patrons from these universities, various surrounding office buildings, condos, daytime shoppers, and nighttime entertainment patrons.
Jim Nixon, CEO of ILLEGAL Restaurant Group Inc., and Founder of ILLEGAL BURGER, stated, "This will be our largest expansion project we have taken on to date. In order for us to expand the IBGR brand nationwide this is a necessary first step logistically, by moving into areas like Writer's Square, and downtown Denver. This acquisition will help create and provide a staging ground for future expansion in larger markets and training of employees to serve a higher density of people, all while maintaining the ILLEGAL BURGER Standard of food quality. This location will create an environment for ILLEGAL BURGER to eventually tap into larger markets like San Diego, Miami and Las Vegas. We are expecting this location to gross from $1.2 - $1.5 million a year with an initial build out expense around $250,000."
ILLEGAL BURGER is planning a grand opening within the next 6-8 weeks and will provide follow up information regarding exact dates.
