Months after closing all of its Colorado locations except for one, Del Taco is reopening them.
The fast food chain confirmed in an emailed statement to USA TODAY on June 26 it has begun a “phased reopening of 17 locations across Denver and Colorado Springs.”
The locations, previously owned by franchisee Newport Ventures, will be owned and operated by Del Taco Corporate, the company said in the statement.
The company told USA TODAY on June 26 it is “grateful for the patience and loyalty of our guests and are thrilled to once again serve the communities that have supported us since 2003.”
When did the Del Taco locations close?
In February, the company said in a statement the locations were “temporarily closed” after signs were posted on doors alerting customers that “all Colorado Del Taco locations are closed until further notice.”
When will the Del Taco locations reopen? One location will stay closed.
A Del Taco spokesperson said updates on specific reopening dates and locations will be shared as they become available. The spokesperson also said one restaurant, located at 3465 N. Salida Street in Aurora, will not reopen.
What is Del Taco?
The chain, founded in 1964, has nearly 600 locations across 17 states, according to its website, and offers a “unique variety of both Mexican and American favorites such as burritos and fries.”
