The new café will be situated at 7700 W. Arrowhead Towne Center Drive, Suite 2202, and is the 36th Pickleman's location across the nation.

Dynamic duo Matt Frick and Joey Liekweg will be at the helm of this exciting new venture, leading the charge in bringing a fresh and innovative dining experience to the area. Known for its bold flavors and focus on clean, quality ingredients, Pickleman's aims to shake up Arizona's sandwich landscape.

Gabrielle Ochoa, the General Manager of Arrowhead Towne Center, shared her enthusiasm about the new opening. “We are thrilled to welcome Pickleman’s as their first shopping center location. Their commitment to high-quality, fresh ingredients resonates with our vision to offer unique and delicious dining experiences to our patrons.”
