Colorado Chick-fil-A Fans Left Waiting as New Sandwiches Skip Rocky Mountain State
Colorado chicken sandwich enthusiasts will have to wait their turn as Chick-fil-A launches two exciting new menu items exclusively in Florida and Utah markets, bypassing the Centennial State's 100+ locations.
The limited-time offerings, which include the Creamy BBQ Chicken Sandwich and Jalapeño Ranch Club Chicken Sandwich, are currently only available to customers in Jacksonville, Florida, and Salt Lake City, Utah, leaving Colorado's dedicated Chick-fil-A customers eager for a potential future release.
What Colorado Is Missing
The Creamy BBQ Chicken Sandwich features a signature chicken fillet on a toasted, buttery bun topped with Creamy BBQ Slaw and sweet heat pickle chips. Meanwhile, the Jalapeño Ranch Club Chicken Sandwich offers a spicy twist that would appeal to Colorado's heat-loving palate, featuring pepper jack cheese, caramelized onion-flavored candied bacon, and pickled jalapeños.
"Really don't need to do a test on these, I'm going to buy them and often," commented one enthusiastic fan on social media, reflecting the sentiment of many Colorado Chick-fil-A regulars who will have to wait.
Impact on Local Restaurants
For Colorado's numerous Chick-fil-A locations, including popular spots in:
- Colorado Springs' Chapel Hills and First & Main Town Center
- Denver metro's multiple locations
- Fort Collins and Northern Colorado establishments
The exclusion from this test market means local franchises will continue operating with their standard menu through the summer season, when these special offerings could have potentially drawn increased customer traffic.
Looking Ahead
While the test runs are scheduled to end on July 19 in both current markets, Colorado Chick-fil-A fans can hope for a future rollout if the sandwiches prove successful. Both new items can be customized with spicy or grilled chicken options, a feature that typically appeals to Colorado's health-conscious dining demographic.
Local customers interested in trying these sandwiches will need to wait for a potential wider release or plan trips to Salt Lake City, the closest test market to Colorado, where the Jalapeño Ranch Club Chicken Sandwich is being offered.
