He said the building became available, and it was the right size at 3,400 square feet. Larimer County property records show that a deed was recorded July 1 for the building, which was purchased from Edward Schroeder for $897,400.

Taylor said design work was just completed and the company will apply for a permit from the city in the coming days.

“We’re very excited to be a part of downtown Loveland. It’s a good fit for us,” he said. Comet Chicken will complement the restaurant scene in the downtown area, he said.

“We’re back now to controlling our own destiny,” he said.
