Washington, D.C.-born bagel chain Call Your Mother is zeroing in on downtown Golden, with city permits pointing to a new shop at 1106 Washington Avenue on the city’s main strip. The Golden plan would be the latest stop in the brand’s Colorado run, following its 2023 entry into Denver and subsequent expansion into nearby Front Range communities.
Permits filed with the city indicate the chain is setting up at 1106 Washington Avenue, according to BusinessDen. The Golden Downtown Development Authority has also logged activity at the same address, noting that “the project at 1106 Washington Avenue continues with demolition of the existing front and rear façades and interior work,” in recent packet materials from the Golden Downtown Development Authority.
Where It Fits In The Chain's Growth
The Call Your Mother locations page currently lists Colorado shops in Boulder, Fort Collins, Denver Central Market, and several Denver neighborhoods, and the site also teases future openings in Illinois and Pennsylvania. Call Your Mother has been steadily growing beyond the D.C.-Maryland-Virginia orbit since launching in 2018, and a permit filing this spring for a Union Station storefront in Denver was highlighted in local coverage and later picked up as a Union Station takeover, as per Hoodline.
What Golden Might See
The address at 1106 Washington Avenue sits along Golden's central retail corridor, and the Downtown Development Authority packet lists the site among projects that could influence storefront design, outdoor seating, and pedestrian flow, according to the Golden Downtown Development Authority. As the DDA weighs façade and grant programs to support incoming tenants, that process may help shape how a Call Your Mother shop is built out and how it meshes with the surrounding small-business mix.
Next Steps
No opening date has been released so far. BusinessDen reports that co‑founder Andrew Dana did not respond to requests for comment. For now, permits and local planning records remain the clearest public signals that a Golden outpost is on the way, and the chain’s official locations page has yet to list a Golden storefront, per Call Your Mother.
