Apparently Mellow Mushroom, which opened today at 1201 16th Street in the Tabor Center, is already shrooming with crowds. The Atlanta-based pizza chain, owned by Morris and Sharon Purcel and their son Shane, franchisee John Valentino, and another son and daughter-in-law, Jason and Holly Griset, trumpets more than a hundred locations nationwide, including a second Colorado location at the Streets at SouthGlenn.
"Denver has a vibrant downtown, and the 16th street Mall doesn't have another establishment like Mellow Mushroom," explains Morris Purcel. The Southern-style, stone-basked pizza joint offers late-night dining, nightly live entertainment and a temperature-controlled covered patio. "Downtown Denver is a happy place and Mellow Mushroom is a happy place--a perfect match," says Morris.
