“With our addictive recipes, upbeat surroundings, and funny sayings, we’re adding tremendous flavor to the Greenwood Village quick-casual dining scene,” says Ron Harrison, who co-owns the new Schlotzsky’s in Greenwood Village with his wife Marion. “It’s hard not to smile when you walk into our bright new restaurants, smell the bread baking, and see how much fun we have with ‘bun humor.’ Greenwood Village is in for a real treat.”
Schlotzsky’s will kick off its grand opening celebration with a Chamber ribbon-cutting at 5:00 p.m.on May 23. The following day, Schlotzsky’s will open at 10 a.m.and reward the first 50 customers who purchase a CinnaPack of six Cinnabon Classic rolls with one free Cinnabon Classic Roll a week for a year. In addition, opening day customers can purchase a small The Original for only $1.99.
The new restaurant was built with Schlotzsky's rebranding efforts in mind, which include a co-branding deal with Cinnabon and a new service model where crew members hand-deliver food to the tables. Everything from tables and chairs to circular-themed local photography featuring tongue-in-cheek phrases is designed to entertain and cater to the guest.
