Cheba Hut’s Second Scottsdale Location Opening on March 10

Cheba Hut will open its newest Scottsdale location on March 10 at 8776 E. Shea Blvd., on the corner of Shea Boulevard and the Loop 101.

The location of the counter-culture-themed sandwich shop, known for its ‘toasted subs’ and laid-back atmosphere, marks the brand’s 11th in Arizona and its 77th systemwide. It is the second Cheba Hut location for franchisees Justin and Michelle Lemos, who celebrated the opening of their first shop in North Scottsdale on Feb. 3.

“Michelle and I are absolutely thrilled and honored to continue introducing Cheba Hut to the people of Scottsdale,” says Justin. “We took special care to make sure the vibe in both of our restaurants reflects the city’s amazing culture. So when you couple that with our high-quality food and laid-back atmosphere, we think it’s another perfect addition to this wonderful community.”

The Cheba Hut brand isn’t new to Justin—he grew up eating at one of its locations in Mesa. Michelle was introduced to it through a co-worker.

The couple says they chose the brand not only because of the food and atmosphere, but also because they felt Cheba Hut’s core values deeply aligned with their own approach to running a restaurant.

This newest location features more than 3,000 square feet and a large patio. Inside, a custom mural by artist Finley pays tribute to Scottsdale’s reputation as a hub for classic car enthusiasts.

“Whether you’re into cars or just appreciate creative expression, I think you’ll enjoy looking at the mural and absorbing all the little details,” says Finley. “Among other features, you’ll get to time-travel to January 20, 1998, when the first Cheba Hut opened. And there are plenty of other nuggets—or nuggs—to discover, the more you look.”

The restaurant will be open daily from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m.
