Judging by the lines at places like Chick-fil-A and Raising Canes around Denver, another fast food chicken joint could certainly thrive here!

The folks behind a popular California-based chicken restaurant know this too, and they’re bringing seven of their Starbird Chicken joints to the Denver-area, with hopes for even more.

The first non-California Starbird restaurant will be at 965 S. Colorado Blvd., and is slated to open this summer. Six more Denver-area Starbird’s are planned, and the franchisee hopes to have 10-15 in Colorado at some point although locations and opening dates on any outside of the first restaurant are not yet known.

The chain known for their antibiotic-free poultry plans to support the Denver Children’s Foundation and high school sports and music programs in the area.
