Three’s company for Mendocino Farms.
The Southern California-based sandwich chain is set to open its third Denver location after a successful debut in Cherry Creek and a planned encore in the Highlands.
Mendocino’s next spot will be at 1380 16th St., according to a brochure marketing the property. It will take up 1,900 square feet that was previously part of Panera Bread, which closed last fall.
Mendocino Farms told BusinessDen the location will open in 2026.
The store will sit at the base of the 10-story 16M building, which features office space on floors two through six and apartments on the four floors above that.
Mendocino’s first Denver location opened in May at 320 Fillmore St. in Cherry Creek. A turkey club sandwich costs $14 and a steak sandwich $16. That spot is open daily from 10:30 a.m. to 9 p.m. and also serves beer and wine.
Founded in 2005 by husband-and-wife duo Mario Del Pero and Ellen Chen, Mendocino Farms is largely concentrated in California, with dozens of locations from Sacramento to San Diego. It recently began expanding to Texas, Washington, Illinois and locally.
