The plan includes a new Denver store as part of a nationwide wave of openings, a detail highlighted in the KDVR report describing the expansion as a “large wave of nationwide openings.” A press release accompanying the announcement listed Denver as the first new market in the series. The expansion aligns with the chain’s broader strategy to reach 30 new locations in 2027, a target noted by the New York Post.

Parade Magazine reports the 25‑store baseline, while Men’s Journal and Yahoo detail the three‑store addition and the possibility of more than 30 openings, respectively. Coverage points to a pattern of aggressive growth in recent years, positioning the new stores as a response to market opportunities without specifying the underlying drivers.
