Burger King announced Thursday that it is expanding its delivery service to Denver, allowing consumers to place orders for items to be delivered to their homes.

The company said the concept is already performing well in New York, Miami, Houston, Los Angeles, Chicago, San Francisco and Washington, D.C.

It said that it plans to continue to expand during the next couple of months by adding up to five restaurants in the area to serve Denver , Wheat Ridge, Lakewood, Aurora, Arvada, Commerce City, Englewood, Littleton and Centennial.

Orders can be placed during delivery operating hours of 11 a.m. until 10 p.m. Delivery must be to a physical address that falls within a delivery zone of a participating restaurant. Delivery times and prices vary by location.
