DENVER-On Sept. 12, Famous Dave's Legendary Pit Bar-B-Que will open its first Colorado restaurants at Stapleton, the largest infill development near a major US downtown. Stapleton, a former international airport, is being developed by Forest City. The new restaurants will open in Quebec Square.
Throughout the next several years, eight additional Famous Dave's restaurants are planned in Colorado. A Denver-based company called the Basic Food Group is bringing famous Dave's to Colorado. Bill Ferguson, who operates the Avenue Grill, two Great Northern Tavern restaurants and the food service for the Meadows and Foothills golf courses, as well as the Fillmore Auditorium, is the founder of the Basic Food Group. He says he is a fan of Famous Dave's.
"Colorado has a plethora of impeccable independent restaurants, but as a state known for attracting out-of-towners, there is a great market for establishments that offer a taste of home," Ferguson says.
Famous Dave's of America Inc. develops, owns, operates and franchises barbeque restaurants. The company currently owns 38 locations and franchises 65 additional units in 24 states.
