Denver, CO, December 17, 2010 --(PR.com)-- Garbanzo Mediterranean Grill, a Denver-based fast casual restaurant concept featuring an authentic Mediterranean menu, today announced its expansion into a third Colorado market: Boulder. The 13th Garbanzo location opens December 22 and is located on the 29th Street Mall at 1905 29th

The latest Garbanzo restaurant joins 10 Denver-metro locations in Highlands, Greenwood Village, Denver, Aurora, Littleton, Park Meadows, Highlands Ranch, University Hills, Lone Tree and Glendale, as well as two Colorado Springs locations in the Broadmoor Towne Center and First and Main Town Center.

“We are especially thrilled to open a Garbanzo in Boulder and introduce our fresh, healthy and authentic concept to this distinctive community,” says Alon Mor, Garbanzo founder. “The people of Boulder are uniquely wellness-minded and responsive to restaurants that provide healthy menu items. Garbanzo maintains dedicated commitment to healthy eating and living, as well as supporting the local community. We know Garbanzo will be right at home in the heart of Boulder.”

On grand opening day, the first 100 guests will receive a free Garbanzo tote, and all guests will be able to give the prize wheel a spin to win fun Garbanzo items.

Garbanzo offers guests a variety of healthy, high-quality Mediterranean items with an emphasis on flavor, freshness and authenticity, as well as a trans-fat free menu. Guests have the ability to customize every meal with items such as pita, laffa, falafel, shwarma, hummus, seasoned rice, sauces and dressings. All Garbanzo salads and sauces are prepared on-site daily, and the pita are baked fresh on-site throughout the day in every restaurant. Additionally, several ingredients are bought locally and some are imported directly from the Mediterranean region. The menu features simple and easy definitions and descriptions of each item in an effort to make guests feel comfortable trying food that may be new to them.
