Taste of Philly began in July of 1993 as a hole-in-the-wall cheesesteak shop in Denver. With a little perseverance and a great product, a little over a decade later we grew into the largest end-user of our authentic cheesesteak meat anywhere west of the Mississippi River.

Timeline & Tidbits:

• In 2006, with 6 stores open, we bought 127 tons of cheesesteak meat!
• Colorado Springs - South was our second store, and opened in 1998
• Highlands Ranch was our third store, and opened in 2001
