Vegan restaurant to open Fort Collins location

FORT COLLINS — Native Foods, a vegan fast-casual brand specializing in plant-based menu items, plans to open its fourth Colorado location in coming weeks near Fort Collins’ Foothills shopping area.

Construction remains underway at 3300 S. College Ave. on the 2,527-square-foot restaurant that marks the Chicago-based brand’s third opening in Colorado. It opened a location in Boulder’s Twenty Ninth Street shopping area more than a decade ago, and also has restaurants in Denver, Lone Tree, Chicago, Los Angeles and San Diego, as well as in Orange County and Palm Springs, California, and is expanding into Missouri this year.
