Aurora was slated to get its very own Smashburger on Wednesday, October 21, but the opening of the store at 2630 South Parker Road has been delayed -- "a permitting issue that the landlord is working through," according to Julie Noyes, spokeswoman for the homegrown chain.
When the Aurora outlet does open, it will be the ninth in the Denver area. Three more -- including a downtown Denver location -- are on tap for 2010. And in the meantime, Smashburger continues its march toward worldwide domination, with smashing gear (right) offered on the company website and a dozen states now serving the Colorado-born burger, with more signing up every day.
