BROOMFIELD, Colo. — A longtime Denver burger joint announced plans Monday to open a fourth location.
The Cherry Cricket said it plans to open a restaurant in Broomfield in summer 2025.
The restaurant said a 8,500-square-foot Broomfield location will occupy a former Old Chicago restaurant site at 1280 E. 1st Ave., near West 120th Avenue and Sheridan Boulevard.
With plans for a covered patio and burger garden with seating for more than 300, the restaurant will create approximately 150 new jobs.
The Cherry Cricket has been open in Cherry Creek for more than 78 years and in Denver’s Ballpark neighborhood since 2018. A third Cherry Cricket location opened in Littleton in 2023.
“We searched extensively across the Denver metro area for the ideal location for our next Cherry Cricket, and we fell in love with Broomfield’s strong sense of community,” said Alex Bunn, CMO and VP of Growth for Breckenridge-Wynkoop, LLC. “Speaking with residents and those who grew up here, we heard fond memories of gathering with friends and neighbors at the former Old Chicago. We are excited to revive this beloved community spot and bring it back to life.”
MA Architects and Jordy Construction are in the beginning stages of creating the burger joint’s new Broomfield home.
