Hays Post

Pasta Jay’s, which has locations in Colorado and Utah, is preparing to open a Hays location — and will be the first business in what the developer is expecting to be significant retail growth on North Vine.

Located in the 4300 block of Vine, the Hays location of Pasta Jay’s will join three others — Moab, Utah; Boulder, Colo.; and Lone Tree, Colo.

Robert Place of Tebo Development said construction is expected to begin on the restaurant in early summer, with completion expected at the end of 2015 or beginning of 2016.

At the same time, Tebo also will be constructing a 25,000-square-foot multi-tenant structure.

While there are no signed tenants, Place said there are half a dozen companies considering the multi-tenant facility as a new home.

“All six of these possible tenants are very realistic candidates,” he said.

A pad for a third structure on the property, which would be “build-to-suit,” also would be prepared for a possible tenant.

The first Pasta Jay’s opened in 1988 in Boulder and offers a variety of Italian fare.

“It really is a great eatery,” Place said.

The restaurant also will have a banquet facility.
