Elsewhere in Colorado, Next Door has locations in Boulder, Denver, Glendale, Stapleton, and Longmont." - Josie Sexton

"Highlands Ranch’s 100-acre Central Park mixed-use hub has already seen a rapid succession of debuts this year, including Zoës Kitchen, Old Chicago, Rock Bottom Restaurant & Brewery, Torchy’s Tacos, Mad Greens, and the second Denver home of Shake Shack, but now Next Door American Eatery confirms it will move into the neighborhood this fall. Sitting close to Mad Greens at 1485 Park Central Drive and slotting into a existing vacant structure, the 3,579-square-foot restaurant will add a rectangular bar, three dining areas with room enough for 120 customers inside, and a 22-seat outdoor patio. Hugo Matheson and Kimbal Musk created the sixth Colorado location for the highly ambitious brand, which originally debuted in 2004 by. Each predecessor opens at 11 a.m., features daily happy hours, and hosts late-night drink specials on Friday and Saturday. On the menu, snack and share creations, bowls, soups, salads, and burgers, plus vegetarian and vegan options." - Susan Stapleton

"A few doors down, The Kitchen’s Next Door is also applying for a liquor license; the hearing is scheduled for May 1." - Josie Sexton
