Coloradans Are Furious About Huge Change Coming to Olive Garden

Olive Garden is one of Colorado's favorite restaurant chains. I do not go to Olive Garden as much as I used to as a kid, but I have no problem going to Olive Garden and eating as many endless breadsticks and never-ending pasta bowls as I can.

There are Olive Garden restaurants across Colorado from Fort Collins to Colorado Springs, Denver, Grand Junction, Greeley, and beyond.

Olive Garden is reliable for a lot of Coloradans. Unfortunately, a few things are changing that many of us are not going to be happy about.

Prices Rising At Colorado Olive Garden Restaurants

Expect prices to rise by up to 3% this year. We know that doesn't sound like a huge difference, but costs add up over time. Many of us in Colorado have felt the pressure of inflation over the past few years. Groceries, gas, digital subscriptions, and more have gone up by small increments.

We are curious to see what Olive Garden's profit it following the end of this quarter. To be honest, I am craving their endless breadsticks right now.
