DENVER — Spicy Pickle has acquired four locations in Denver from former franchisees, bringing the company-owned restaurant total to five, the company has announced.

Two other company-owned locations are under construction, one in Fort Collins, Colo., and the other in the Denver area, with target opening dates in late spring or early summer.

"As is the case with many new franchise companies, we began with less experienced franchisees in our local market where the first restaurants were located," said Marc Geman, CEO of Spicy Pickle Franchising Inc. "Ownership of corporate restaurants will give us an opportunity to fine tune and test our menu, operations and procedures before using them systemwide with all of our franchisees.
