Will Colorado Be Losing One Of These Many Pasta Locations?

Noodles & Company began in Denver back in 1995, and still has its headquarters in Colorado. To think that they'd have to close one of their Colorado locations seems sad, but the state does have a lot.

There are nearly 500 locations of Noodles & Company and/or Noodles World Kitchens across America; many cities have multiple locations. America does love a good pasta dish, but if the company is looking to cut costs, something's got to give.

Will they be closing (at least) one of their spots here in Colorado?

Noodles & Company Closures Coming to Colorado?

It was in August of 2024, that Noodles & Company announced that they were planning on closing some underperforming locations. Sure, 20 closures out of 474 locations is a very small fraction, but it's never good to see people lose employment.

Colorado Has Nearly 60 Noodles & Company Locations

When you see that Noodles & Company has 58 locations in Colorado, and you know that they're looking to close 20 stores, It's easy to picture the "number pushers" pointing to Colorado.

The big cities in Colorado, Denver, Colorado Springs, Aurora and Arvada have more than four locations each, with Denver and The Springs having six each. Those are big cities, and people love pasta; it all makes sense. Other cities, maybe not so much.

Loveland, and Greeley for example, each have two Noodles & Company spots. Do those cities need two? If their sales numbers are good, great. However, if they're slumping, it is easy to see the company saying, "Maybe just one in that town is plenty."
