Modern Market Eatery, a US-based fast-casual concept, has opened its first drive-through restaurant in Colorado Springs, Colorado.
Situated at 3015 New Center Point within the First and Main Town Center, this newly established company-owned restaurant marks the third Modern Market Eatery venue in Colorado Springs.
The establishment provides guests with the choice of dine-in, drive-thru, and delivery options.
The menu features freshly prepared grain bowls, salads, sandwiches, and pizzas. Additionally, a winter menu was introduced on November 1, 2023.
Every ingredient has been thoughtfully sourced and is devoid of artificial flavors, colors, trans fats, hormones, antibiotics, and additives.
The kitchen is equipped with a dual-sided assembly line to expedite preparation times, thereby minimizing customer wait times.
Modern Market Eatery co-founder and president Rob McColgan stated, “Opening our first drive-thru restaurant is just one of the many ways our team is working to re-imagine fast food and show guests how healthy food can be a quick, convenient option for the entire family.
“This will be the first of many drive-thru locations we anticipate developing over the coming years to provide an even more efficient service model to handle the increasing volume of takeout orders.”
Within the new restaurant venue, there is a “Mini Market” merchandise area where diners can explore a selection of locally crafted products. This includes items from Switchback Coffee Roasters, Bibamba artisan chocolate, Skratch Labs, as well as Modern Market Eatery merchandise like hats and mugs.
In September 2022, Modern Market Eatery entered into a franchise development agreement with the Thrive Restaurant Group.
Thrive committed to launching 41 Modern Market Eatery locations across 11 new markets. These include northwest Arkansas; Des Moines in Iowa; Austin, San Antonio, and Waco in Texas; Charlotte and Raleigh in North Carolina; and Wichita and Kansas City in Kansas.
