What we collect in Colorado

New restaurant company registered with the state

Colorado, statewide. State dataset refreshed daily, checked daily.

Companies newly formed with the Colorado Secretary of State, or newly registered there from another state, whose name says restaurant, cafe, pizza, taqueria, bakery, brewery or another eating or drinking place, with the formation date, the entity type and the principal office address the company filed. A new company is not a confirmed restaurant or opening, and it may never open. Caterers, food trucks, consulting, holding, management, real estate, supply and franchise companies, nonprofits, and addresses that are a PO box, an apartment, a registered-agent office or look like a home are left out. The state publishes no phone.

Colorado Department of State, Business and Licensing Division (Colorado Information Marketplace)

Restaurant or bar liquor license

Colorado, statewide. State dataset, checked daily.

Recently issued Hotel & Restaurant, Tavern, Brew Pub, Vintner's Restaurant and Beer & Wine liquor licenses from the state licensing list, published monthly. A Tavern or Beer & Wine license can be a bar rather than a restaurant, and the record says so; salons, hotels and play venues holding a Beer & Wine license are left out.

Colorado Department of Revenue, Liquor Enforcement Division

New restaurant business or liquor license

Aurora, Colorado. City register updated as licenses are issued, checked daily.

Restaurants, cafes, snack bars and bars in the City of Aurora, east of Denver, whose city business license was issued in the last 90 days, dated by the issue date, with the business start date the business gave the city and any city liquor license issued for the same location. A restaurant whose business license is older but whose liquor license is new is included as a liquor license, with the business license's date. A bar is labelled a bar, not a restaurant. A new license can go to a new restaurant or an existing one under a new owner or at a new location; it is not a confirmed opening. The city publishes no phone. Home-based businesses, caterers, food trucks, contract food services, apartments and boxes are left out, and so is a license whose only name could be a person's own.

City of Aurora, Colorado (business license register published by the city GIS)

Retail food license application

Denver, Colorado. City table rebuilt daily, checked daily.

Retail Food license applications Denver lists as pending, dated by the application date. The city licenses food stores the same way and publishes no sub-type: names that show a store, hotel, school, hospital, venue or contract food service are left out, and a record can still be a food business that is not a restaurant. An existing business can also apply, for example under a new owner; an application is not an issued license or a confirmed opening. The city publishes no phone.

City and County of Denver, Department of Excise and Licenses

Franchise restaurant sold

Nationwide, a few a month. Checked daily.

When FranBizNetwork, the brokerage that runs Restaurant Intel, closes the sale of a franchise restaurant in Colorado, the sold location is in the report too: address, brand, close date and the business phone when the brokerage has it. It is our own sale record, not a government filing, and the row says so. Never the buyer, seller or price.

FranBizNetwork

Not covered

  • Only what these registers publish, on the publisher's own schedule.
  • Phone numbers: a Colorado row needs a lookup before a call, from the name, address and government link.
  • Loan requests. A filing shows activity, not a need for a loan; an ownership change is not a business for sale, and a franchise or chain is labeled, not removed.
