Colorado Springs, Colo. — Guthrie’s, the original chicken-finger restaurant, will open its newest restaurant on July 14 in Colorado Springs, Colo. — marking the brand’s first-ever location in Colorado. The restaurant is also owned and operated by Guthrie family members Joe Kelly Guthrie, Tanner Guthrie and Garrison Guthrie.
“Growing up, Guthrie’s has always been part of our family’s story, and it’s incredibly special to be opening a restaurant with my brother and dad,” says Tanner Guthrie. “As we looked at where to open our first restaurant, Colorado Springs stood out for its strong sense of community, its continued growth and the opportunity to serve the many military members and families who call this city home. We’re excited to introduce a new generation of guests to the chicken fingers that have been part of our family’s legacy for decades.”
“This opening represents more than our first restaurant in Colorado — it’s the beginning of a new chapter for the Guthrie family,” says Tom Carr, president and CEO of Guthrie’s Franchising. “Seeing Tanner and Garrison carry the family legacy forward while introducing Guthrie’s to an entirely new market makes this opening especially meaningful. We believe Colorado Springs is the perfect place to begin our journey in the state, and we can’t wait to welcome our very first Colorado guests through the doors.”
Guthrie’s was founded in Haleyville, Ala., in 1965. In 1982, Guthrie’s revolutionized the fast-food industry by creating the first-ever chicken finger-only restaurant. Today, the brand operates more than 70 locations across 14 states. For more information, visit https://guthrieschicken.com/.
