"TGI Fridays Shuts Down Dozens of Locations Nationwide, Including 7 in New Jersey"

Colorado's dining scene sees significant changes with TGI Friday's closing its last two locations in the state, alongside 34 others nationwide, as part of a strategic move to strengthen the franchise. Local favorites Roaming Buffalo and Baba & Pop's also closed their doors, with the latter planning a new production kitchen in South Carolina. Balancing these closures, new openings include Lucy Coffee House in Aurora, the club Riot House in Denver, and a third Tikka & Grill location in Englewood. Additionally, Rioja in Larimer Square is temporarily closed for kitchen renovations until January 21.
