Is now a good time for local food truck owners to transition to permanent restaurant spaces?
Jordy's BBQ has revealed plans to open a permanent restaurant within a 6,100-square-foot facility at 2600 West Colfax Avenue. This new site formerly housed Raíces Brewing, which closed in October 2025.
Why it matters
The transition to a brick-and-mortar location allows the business to significantly expand its menu. The owner intends to introduce fried food items and various sports bar offerings to the restaurant's culinary lineup.
The new restaurant spans 6,100 square feet and will feature the owner's existing 1,000-gallon smokers. The site is located at 2600 West Colfax Avenue.
The players
Jordy's BBQ
This Denver-based business has operated as a food truck since 2024 and is currently expanding into a permanent restaurant space.
Raíces Brewing
This former brewery occupied the 2600 West Colfax Avenue space until it closed in October 2025.
The details
The owner is currently navigating the commercial kitchen permit and licensing process. The buildout phase is expected to last two to three months, at which point the food truck will transition toward catering and eventually scale back operations.
Timeline
Jordy's BBQ began operating in Denver in 2024.
Raíces Brewing closed its facility in October 2025.
The restaurant expansion was announced in October 2026.
The commercial kitchen buildout is estimated for completion by January 2027.
Culture Shift
This transition follows the broader industry pattern of food trucks moving into permanent storefronts to secure stable operational bases. It reflects a shift toward scaling up successful mobile concepts into established hospitality environments.
Local patrons can look forward to an expanded menu featuring fried items and sports bar-style food once the kitchen buildout is finished. The move will eventually consolidate the business's food service into one primary location on West Colfax Avenue.
The takeaway
Expanding into a permanent space provides customers with a consistent venue to experience a broader range of menu items. Residents should watch for official opening announcements in early 2027 following the kitchen construction.
