The two new openings mark the 32nd and 33rd restaurants in the chain, and the 20th and 21st restaurants located in the Colorado Front Range metro area, which covers Colorado Springs, Denver, Boulder, Ft Collins, and smaller communities found close to those cities.

The first new restaurant is located at 9275 N. Union Blvd., Suite 150, Colorado Springs, Colorado 80920 phone: (719) 282-1442. This location is the second Spicy Pickle® restaurant in the Colorado Springs area.

Marc Geman, CEO of Spicy Pickle® Franchising, Inc., commented: "With the opening of our 20th and 21st stores in the Colorado market we continue to leverage our brand to the Colorado consumers who are very familiar with our offerings.
