bb.q Chicken celebrates the grand opening of its first Colorado location in Aurora

On May 26, bb.q Chicken in Aurora’s Village on the Park held a grand opening event and ribbon cutting ceremony.

Aurora Mayor Mike Coffman congratulated the franchise owner Jay Park and thanked him for opening his new business in the city of Aurora.

Established in 1995, bb.q Chicken is known for its signature item, Korean Fried Chicken, as well as other Korean dishes, including ddeok bokki and kimchi fried rice.

Aurora City Councilmembers Alison Coombs and Danielle Jurinsky also attended and gave their best wishes to Park. Garrett Walls, president of the Havana Business Improvement District (BID), welcomed the bb.q Chicken to the Havana Street corridor.

Becky Hogan, chair of the Aurora Sister City Korea Committee, organized a project for guests to sign origami cranes with messages of hope to send to the Korean community in Dallas after the recent shooting at a Korean salon.

Special guests gathered outside for the ribbon cutting and then enjoyed a delicious lunch.

The Aurora location is the first to bb.q Chicken to open in Colorado with plans for a Denver and Lone Tree location to open later this year. bb.q Chicken’s vision is to always provide the most delicious and healthiest premium chicken in the world.
