There’s a chilly and tasty celebration on the horizon.
Eegee’s is officially opening its doors to its new location at “The Landing” at Irvington Road and I-19 from 4 – 6 p.m. on Tuesday, May 25.
The quick-service restaurant is inviting anyone in the area to the grand opening celebration, and there’s even word of some fun activities, too. For those stopping by, they can expect the full menu with available samples, an opportunity to stock up on swag, and live beats from a DJ.
Sounds like a heck of a party for all Eegee’s fans.
The family-friendly event will also have Eegee’s-themed coloring sheets on hand for children to enjoy.
The new 2,200 square-foot space will feature a full drive-thru that’s also got an “Eegee-only” drive-thru window, walk-up order window, and garage doors to allow for an indoor/outdoor hybrid experience.
“This area has seen tremendous growth and we felt it was the perfect place to debut our new prototype,” says CEO, Ron Petty. “And while our look and feel have evolved over time, our classic menu items and the service we provide remains the same.”
Additionally, the new restaurant is located near the Santa Cruz River Bikeway and will accommodate bicycle parking. Plus, take a look around and you’ll find exterior art including mosaic tile floor that’s color-coordinated with the color of Eegee’s drink flavors.
The new location is found at 4765 S. Landing Center Dr. For more information, visit eegees.com.

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.
