"An Arizona-born sandwich shop founded in Tempe in 1998 that leans into cheeky, stoner-themed branding is expanding in the Dallas–Fort Worth area under local franchisee Bhavik Bhakta, who has signed on to open three new DFW locations — the first in Denton expected in early 2022, a second being scouted in North Dallas, and a third yet-to-be announced. The concept, which opened its first DFW outpost in Deep Ellum in September 2020 and now has five Texas locations after launching in Austin last year, offers creative sandwiches such as the Pakalolo (ham, Swiss, and pineapple) alongside classics like the French dip, BLT, a pizza sub, and numerous veggie-forward options. Beverage offerings — marketed as “Cotton Mouth Cures” — run from local brews to cocktails like the Dirty Hippie (Deep Eddy vodka, fresh cucumbers, and lemonade)." - Amy McCarthy
