Over the years, Baggin’s has truly found its footing here in the desert. In 1984, the restaurant’s journey began “with a little chocolate chip cookie made from scratch at our founder’s, Cheree Garrett-Jeffries home.”
To this day, they still serve a cookie with every sandwich (that’s pretty neat).
Now, they’re taking their 40-year-old business to Scottsdale! The local team behind Baggin’s is aiming to open its brand-new location at 14202 N. Scottsdale Rd. by the end of May 2024.
Therefore, the classic sandwiches and other favorites like the Grinder, Cowboy, and Bread Bowl Salads are coming to the Phoenix area — the farthest the restaurant has stretched its reach in Arizona.
There are more than 10 Baggin’s locations in Tucson, including one in Marana, a spot in Oro Valley, and another in Rita Ranch out on Old Vail Road.
Baggin’s has been known for using high-quality ingredients, teaming up with other local businesses like Viro’s Italian Bakery, and its signature sandwich combinations. One of those is the Unforgettable. The combo of turkey breast, cream cheese, mayo, bacon, sprouts, tomato, and avocado on 12-grain bread is more than memorable.
In Scottsdale, they’ll also offer catering services, such as deli sides by the pound, whole cakes, dessert platters, and hot and cold sandwich bundles for five to 5,000 eaters.

More about MattAt a very young age, Matt Sterner was gifted with the artistic ability to masterfully roll a burrito to the highest of standards, but the wrapped medley of delicious innards wasn’t his first love. Matt’s first true love was a combination of reading, writing, and creating. He grew up reading comics, the ingredients list of his shampoo and conditioner bottles, choose-your-own-adventure books, and the Scrabble dictionary — something he found useful when challenging his grandmother to a game.
He attended college at New Mexico State University and graduated with a degree in Digital Filmmaking. One of his favorite classes was screenwriting because he became responsible for the story’s birth before it came to life on-screen. After school, Matt took on numerous positions at a local television station in Tucson. From dealing out stories about heartbreak to producing “fluffier” content for a lifestyle broadcast, he learned what it takes to adapt to the many emotions the world of media can stir. Since 2017, Matt has dabbled in the culinary world of Tucson as well as San Diego, California from time to time.
If you’re in the mood for strange stories, head over to his pride and joy, wonkytimes.com. And in case you’re curious — yes, after all of this time, he still manages to roll a killer burrito.
