Live Poll

Is the closure of long-standing local restaurants making your neighborhood a less desirable place to live?

Park & Co, an Uptown institution that opened in 2010, is scheduled to close permanently on October 19, 2026. Owned by the Gastamo Group, the long-standing neighborhood spot will finish its final day of service this Sunday.

Why it matters

The closure represents a shift for the local dining landscape as the Gastamo Group continues to adjust its portfolio of restaurant brands. This decision follows the group's recent closure of its Park Burger location on West 32nd Avenue.

Operating for 16 years, the restaurant is located at 439 E. 17th Ave. in the Uptown district of Denver. The owner, Gastamo Group, continues to operate two other Park Burger locations in Platt Park and Hilltop.

Culture Shift

This closure follows the trend set by the Gastamo Group's recent closure of a Park Burger location on West 32nd Avenue. This movement reflects a broader consolidation effort within the local restaurant group's portfolio.

Residents and regular patrons in the Uptown area have until October 19, 2026, to visit the establishment before it ceases operations. Those seeking similar dining experiences managed by the same parent company may still visit other locations in Platt Park and Hilltop.

The takeaway

The end of this long-running establishment highlights the evolving nature of restaurant portfolios in the city. Regular customers are encouraged to visit before the final service date this Sunday.
