Both franchisees emphasize their community-driven ethos, stating, "We’re thrilled to open our doors and finally bring Pickleman’s to Glendale. Arrowhead Towne Center provides a perfect, high-visibility home for us to introduce our award-winning artisan sandwiches, tavern-style pizza, salads, soups, and delicious mac and cheese bowls—fast, fresh, and full of flavor. And let’s not forget about our made-from-scratch cookies! November 20th is day one, and we’re just getting started!"

Arrowhead Towne Center is equally enthusiastic about welcoming Pickleman’s to the local dining scene. Gabrielle Ochoa, General Manager at Arrowhead Towne Center, expresses, "We’re proud to have Pickleman’s as the first shopping-center-based location for the brand. Their commitment to high-quality ingredients and their modern atmosphere align perfectly with our goal to offer standout dining experiences to our visitors."

Founded with the mission to deliver wholesome food with extraordinary flavor, Pickleman’s has cultivated a strong community-focused approach, marking this opening as a major step in their expansion strategy. Doug Stritzel, the founder of Pickleman’s, shares, "Arizona has been on our roadmap, and opening inside a premier shopping destination like Arrowhead Towne Center is a powerful milestone. As we celebrate two decades of committed fans and community ties, this opening is another stride towards positioning Pickleman’s as America’s Next Hottest Franchise."

The Glendale location is just the start; it is part of a broader plan to establish five Pickleman’s locations across Arizona, spearheaded by Frick and Liekweg. In addition to the upcoming Arizona cafes, the brand aims to expand further, targeting 8–10 additional stores nationwide in the next year.
