California Pizza Kitchen has closed up shop at the Cherry Creek Shopping Center.

It first opened at the mall 25 years ago, when the national chain made its debut in the Centennial State. CPK got its start with a Beverly Hills, California, location in 1985.

Its corporate headquarters did not respond to a request for comment from BusinessDen. 

Mike Wilson, the mall’s general manager, told BusinessDen on Tuesday that a new business has already been secured for the space, but declined to answer specific questions.

CPK’s Colorado presence has been dwindling in recent years.

After CPK filed for bankruptcy in 2020, The Daily Camera reported that spots in Boulder and Colorado Springs had closed. The outlet also said the future of a now-shuttered Broomfield restaurant was also up in the air. It is unclear when that restaurant closed.

California Pizza Kitchen now has just one remaining Colorado location, at Park Meadows mall in Lone Tree, according to the company’s website.
