On Monday, June 27th, 2022, a new Cheba Hut shop made its debut to 306 W Holly St, Bellingham, WA 98225. They celebrated&nbsp; with their VIP Event that took place on Saturday, June 25th from 6:00 pm to 9:00 pm. The “toasted” sub shop offers over 30 signature sub sandwiches, as well as a variety of Rice Krispy treats, salads, and munchies along with a full-service bar. Drinks like the Dirty Hippie, Hot Box, and Cheba Rita are all Cheba Hut signatures while the beer will feature a mix of national and local favorites&nbsp;including Chuckanut Brewery, Kulshan Brewing Company, Aslan Brewing Company, Wander Brewing, and Gruff Brewing.&nbsp;Owners Doug and Kristin Engerman share over 30 years of experience in the fields of technology entrepreneurship and interior design. They were introduced to a Cheba Hut shop&nbsp; through their daughter while visiting her at the University of Colorado-Denver. The couple immediately fell in love with the brand and decided it would be a hit in the Bellingham community.“This&nbsp;Bellingham&nbsp;location is one I’ve personally been looking forward to for a long time,” said Chief Relationship Officer,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/seth-larsen-a922877/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=cheba-hut-to-celebrate-opening-first-location-in-washington-state-on-june-27th-2719080" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Seth Larsen</a>. “Doug and Kristin are the perfect franchise partners for the job. We know this is going to be a huge success.”Cheba Hut has been escaping the established and getting “toasted” since its founding in 1998. The brand has broken the mold of mundane fast-casual concepts and set itself apart by becoming the first marijuana-themed sandwich “joint” (pun intended). Cheba Hut is dedicated to combining locally sourced ingredients with a chill, eclectic environment where genuine food is served by genuine people.“Our location is unique because we are opening in the former Rocket Donuts building”, says Kristin Engerman. “This is a very well-known and loved location”.“We are excited because this is the first time Cheba Hut is opening a shop in Washington state”, says Doug Engerman. “The food and the vibe is a match for the Old Town community that embraces the cannabis culture and provides an amazing workplace that is accepting and inclusive for everybody.”For more information about Cheba Hut of&nbsp;Bellingham, visit the restaurant’s official website,&nbsp;<a href="https://chebahut.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=cheba-hut-to-celebrate-opening-first-location-in-washington-state-on-june-27th-2719080" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://chebahut.com/</a>&nbsp; or follow them on&nbsp;<a href="https://www.facebook.com/ChebaHutBellingham?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=cheba-hut-to-celebrate-opening-first-location-in-washington-state-on-june-27th-2719080" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Facebook</a> and&nbsp;<a href="https://www.instagram.com/chebahut_bellingham/?hl=en&utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=cheba-hut-to-celebrate-opening-first-location-in-washington-state-on-june-27th-2719080" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Instagram</a>.ABOUT CHEBA HUT:Cheba Hut has been escaping the established and getting “toasted” since 1998.
