You can find ’em all over town, but soon it’ll be even easier to grab a cold one.
The beloved fast-food restaurant, Eegee’s, is opening seven new locations — one of which will be built out of shipping containers.
The new “modern prototype design” is the first of the seven brand new locations, and will open at “The Landing” on Irvington this coming January. The Landing is a 58-acre site that’s expected to have up to 600,000 square feet of retail space.
“The shipping container prototype has been in the works all year, and we’re very excited to unveil it this fall,” said Eegee’s CEO, Ron Petty. “The look and feel of Eegee’s has evolved, but the menu will continue to feature our classic favorites.”
The first location is said to be the beginning of a new roll-out of restaurants.
All of the future eegee’s restaurants will be constructed with the new, contemporary aesthetic, but will continue to serve the same menu — french fries, ranch dressing, and frozen slushy drinks that dye the inside of your mouth.

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.
