Silverthorne Dunkin’ closes as owner seeks franchise sale

Silverthorne’s Dunkin’ at 120 Blue River Parkway has stopped serving customers after nearly 11 years. The closure was reported by Summit Daily on October 23.

There is an important distinction: Dunkin’s website described the location as temporarily closed, while franchisee Dan Eckard told the newspaper he expected the shutdown would likely become permanent. The ownership group is seeking a buyer for its franchise interests. A completed sale has not been confirmed.

The restaurant employed about 10 people, according to Eckard. That is a staffing figure—not a verified layoff total. The report does not establish what happened to each employee’s job. The nearby Frisco Dunkin’ is remaining open while its franchise license is also offered for sale.

For employees, the unanswered question is what comes next. Anyone seeking clarity about their own job or a possible transfer will need that information directly from the employer.

Connecting Colorado’s job-seeker help center offers a starting point for using the state job-search service. You can also browse Dunkin’s official job listings by location. Listings are not a promise of a local vacancy or transfer; individual franchisees make their own hiring decisions.

If you know of a genuine paid opening, a clear listing with hours, pay details and an application route can be more useful than a vague offer. Share it without assuming these workers have all lost their jobs or want the same next step.
