“Sandis is a cook at The Green Line Grill and says "boss man" has run a tight ship since they opened 16 years ago.”
INSUFFICIENT EVIDENCE
The claim states the restaurant has been open for 16 years. However, evidence from FOX21 News Colorado explicitly states that the owner 'opened The Green Line Grill in downtown Colorado Springs back in August of 2013'. Based on the current date (2024/2025), this would be approximately 11-12 years, not 16. Additionally, another source notes it was an award-winning joint 'for 10 years' before shuttering.
