"Pure Barre" Exercise Franchise To Take Over Space Once Occupied By "Five Guys" On Court Street

There is actually something ironic about a fitness studio taking over the space most recently occupied by a "Five Guys" burger and fries joint on Court Street
A new sign taped to the window at  266 Court Street indicates that "Pure Barre", a Denver-based exercise franchise, will be opening soon.
According to its web site, "Pure Barre is the fastest, most effective way to change the shape of your body. Using small isometric movements at the ballet barre set to motivating music, Pure Barre lifts your seat, tones your thighs, abs and arms and burns fat in record breaking time."

No worries, though. For those less inclined to exercising, there are still quite a few burger options in the neighborhood.

Do you think the hamburger craze will last long enough to keep all of these places in business?
