Local cheesesteak restaurant Frankie’s Cheesesteaks & Hoagies officially opened its second location at 3780 W. Ina Rd. #184, Marana, AZ 85741.
The 2,500-square-foot space previously housed Peter Piper Pizza, which moved into a bigger space across the street.
“We like the area,” said Kerry Lajeunesse, who owns Frankie’s with her husband Dorian Lajeunesse. “It’s busy over there. A lot of people have been asking for a location over there.”
The restaurant’s hours of operation are 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. on Monday – Saturday and they’re closed on Sunday.
The Lajeunesses took ownership of Frankie’s in January 2017. The other location is at 2574 N. Campbell Ave. Frank “Frankie” Santos founded the business with his wife Deb Santos in 2003; he passed away mid-2018.

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.
