Publicly announced the successful closing of the May 2012 partnership of renowned Frasca Food and Wine restaurateurs Bobby Stuckey and Lachlan Patterson with Chipotle Mexican Grill in the formation of PL Restaurant Holdings, LLC. The firm assisted Stuckey and Patterson in the structuring of their new partnership with Chipotle, which expands Boulder’s successful Pizzeria Locale into a new fast-casual pizza concept restaurant of the same name. The new Pizzeria Locale franchise merges Stuckey and Patterson’s traditional Naples-inspired pizzeria with Chipotle’s commitment to premium ingredients and interactive service. The partnership’s first restaurant opened in Denver in May 2013, with plans for additional restaurants in the Denver market coming soon.
