Eegee's, the popular Tucson fast-food chain, announces an expansion and it appears that Phoenix is on the radar.
The chain announced that it would open at least seven more restaurants in the Tucson area in 2021, one of which feature a new design and would be made out of shipping containers.
CEO Ron Petty, told ABC 15, "The shipping container prototype has been in the works all year, and we're very excited to unveil it this fall. The look and feel of Eegee's has evolved, but the menu will continue to feature our classic favorites."
So what does this expansion mean for Phoenix?
Though there has been no official announcement from Eegee's, some Facebook ads from the company have been teasing a "secret" in Phoenix. There have also been official documents submitted to open three restaurants in the city.
One sponsored Facebook post read, "Hey Phoenix, we have a secret to tell you." It was followed by a photo of three of Eegee's signature frozen drinks.
According to the City of Phoenix, Eegee's had a pre-application meeting regarding a location near 35th and Peoria avenues but the chain has not yet filed any further documents.
