Denver’s beloved burger institution, The Cherry Cricket, is set to open its fourth location in early summer 2025 at 1280 E 1st Ave in Broomfield. With a rich history spanning almost 79 years in Cherry Creek, The Cherry Cricket has become a staple in Denver, expanding to the Ballpark neighborhood in 2018 and Littleton in 2023.

The new Broomfield location, which will occupy the community’s former Old Chicago restaurant site, will boast approximately 8,500 square feet of space, including a new covered patio and “Burger Garden” with seating for more than 300 guests. Once open, The Cherry Cricket Broomfield will also create approximately 150 new jobs for the community.

“We searched extensively across the Denver metro area for the ideal location for our next Cherry Cricket, and we fell in love with Broomfield’s strong sense of community,” said Alex Bunn, CMO and VP of growth for Breckenridge-Wynkoop, LLC. “Speaking with residents and those who grew up here, we heard fond memories of gathering with friends and neighbors at the former Old Chicago. We are excited to revive this beloved community spot and bring it back to life.”

The team has enlisted MA Architects and Jordy Construction to bring The Cherry Cricket’s signature charm to Broomfield. These partners, who successfully built the Littleton location last year, are in the beginning stages of recreating the beloved burger joint’s magic in its newest home.

“We’re thrilled to welcome The Cherry Cricket to Broomfield,” said Broomfield’s Mayor Guyleen Castriotta. “Over the past eight decades, it has become one of Colorado’s most iconic and beloved restaurant brands, and for good reason. We look forward to it becoming an integral part of our fast-growing and dynamic community. Nothing goes together better than the three B’s – burgers, beers and Broomfield.”

The Broomfield location will continue to fill bellies with favorites like the Cricket Burger, crispy mac & cheese bites, and pork green chile paired with their extensive list of rotating local beers.

Cherry Cricket Broomfield will bring together all the beloved elements from its other locations, including the iconic marquee sign, a welcoming bar, the kid-favorite fish tank, a spacious Burger Garden and a wide array of award-winning burgers.
