COLORADO SPRINGS, CO — Cy's Drive In has been a Colorado Springs staple since the 1950s. They are known for their burgers and milkshakes. Now, the owners are saying it's time to retire. We spoke with the owner, Kathy Micci, about what this place means to the community.
She hopes a new buyer will keep the place’s history alive.
“I would much prefer that somebody keep it like it is. But if they chose not to, I would be heartbroken.”
Barbra Lacy has been coming to Cy’s for over twenty years. She says the burger joint is a special place for the community.
“It’s one of those places that’s a treasure, I would hate to ever see this leave, because um, It’s been here for so long and has so many memories for so many of us,” she said.
When they opened, the Alaskan burger was only 49 cents. The price of the burger went up, but it still remains as one of the restaurant's staples.
They only hope that the legacy of the burger joint can continue with, hopefully, a new owner.
