Del Taco Temporarily Shuts Down 18 of 19 Colorado Locations

The closures, affecting restaurants in Denver and Colorado Springs, were announced as temporary, with no timeline for reopening shared.

Del Taco has temporarily closed 18 of its 19 locations in Colorado, leaving only the Grand Junction location open.
The closures were announced on February 27, 2025, with signs posted at restaurant doors stating the decision was effective immediately.
The company has not provided specific reasons for the closures or a timeline for reopening but emphasized its commitment to resuming operations in the state.
The Grand Junction location remains operational as it is owned by a different franchisee than the affected locations in Denver and Colorado Springs.
The closures come during a period when several retail and restaurant chains in the U.S. are facing challenges related to inflation, reduced consumer spending, and shifts in shopping and dining behaviors.
