For over a year now Portillo’s has teased Colorado that they might be coming to our state finally, but it seems as though things are getting more serious than ever now…

A real estate agent for LIV Sotheby’s International, Mariel Megan Ross, posted on Facebook on March 6, that Portillo’s is looking to expand into Colorado with three locations.

The post says that Portillo’s is looking at numerous locations and plans have been submitted to at least two locations within the Denver metro area recently. The first in Littleton, off of C-470 and Broadway in the new Mineral Place development. The second in Thornton off of I-25 and 136th Avenue, next to the Thorncreek Golf Course.

Although the post mentioned three locations, only those two were mentioned. At one point rumors were that a location near DIA may be in the works.
