These Chain Restaurants Are Based Out of Colorado

Many of your favorite places that you like to frequent for lunch or dinner are based right here in our home state of Colorado. Today I was at the Quiznos in Windsor and I noticed a sign that said Quiznos started in Colorado... I didn't know that. Being the curious person that I am, I did a little research into what other chain eateries are based out of the state of Colorado and here they are:
