Garbanzo Mediterranean Grill, a Denver-based fast-casual concept, will open its eighteenth location -- the sixteenth in Colorado -- today at 14740 West Colfax Avenue, in the new Denver West project. To celebrate, the restaurant will be giving away prizes and menu items all month long -- check the Facebook page to learn more.

And that's just the first of many restaurants that will be rolling out here.

Jimmy John's and Chick-fil-A are set to open spots there as well.

And Panera Bread will open in the development at 6 a.m. on Wednesday, December 12; the first 1,000 customers inside the cafe will receive a free Cinnamon Crunch Bagel and a free Panera Bread Coffee Tumbler with free refills through December 31; the first 500 customers in the drive-thru will also receive a free Cinnamon Crunch Bagel.
