GLENDALE, Ariz., Aug. 7, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Pickleman's Gourmet Café is proud to announce the upcoming opening of its very first Arizona location at Arrowhead Towne Center in Glendale. Located at 7700 W. Arrowhead Towne Center Drive, Suite 2202, this marks a series of exciting firsts: the 36th Pickleman's location nationwide, the first in the state of Arizona, and notably, the first-ever Pickleman's located inside a shopping center.

This new café is the first of five Pickleman's locations planned for Arizona under the ownership of dynamic franchisee duo Matt Frick and Joey Liekweg. With bold flavors, truly clean ingredients, and an energized, community-first approach, Pickleman's is set to bring something fresh to the Arizona sandwich scene.

"We're thrilled to bring Pickleman's to Glendale. The Arrowhead Towne Center location allows us to introduce the brand to a broader, high-traffic audience—and we're just getting started," said Matt Frick and Joey Liekweg, franchise owners. "Our goal is to make this your new favorite lunch or dinner spot serving thin crust pizza, salads, soups and macaroni bowls—fast, fresh, and full of flavor."

Arrowhead Towne Center's leadership shares in the excitement.

"We're proud to welcome Pickleman's to Arrowhead Towne Center as their first-ever shopping center location," said Gabrielle Ochoa, General Manager at Arrowhead Towne Center. "Their high-quality ingredients, modern vibe, and commitment to community align perfectly with our vision for offering unique and delicious dining experiences to our shoppers."

Founded with the mission to deliver clean food with bold flavor served fast—and with a side of fun, Pickleman's has become known for its top-shelf sandwiches, signature dill pickle chips, and lively brand personality. As it approaches its 20th anniversary this fall, the brand is celebrating a legacy of raving fans, strong community ties, and rising franchise success.

The Glendale store also marks Pickleman's entrance into its seventh state, continuing the brand's rapid national expansion.

"Seeing Pickleman's expand into Arizona—and into a shopping center for the first time—is a huge milestone for us as we approach our 20-year anniversary," said Doug Stritzel, Founder of Pickleman's. "Our long-term vision has always been to become a legacy brand, and this is a powerful step in the journey of solidifying our position as America's Next Hottest Franchise. We're also getting ready to launch our own private-label chip line—starting, of course, with a craveable pickle flavor fans are going to love."

The Glendale store opening will take place in the late fall/early winter of 2025. This will kick off a new era for Pickleman's, which is on track to open 8–10 more stores nationwide in the next year, further solidifying its position as America's Next Hottest Franchise.
