The eegee’s restaurant planned for Maricopa will be a 2,300 square foot, single-story, ground-up prototype eegee’s-branded restaurant with indoor seating and a drive-thru lane, according to pre-application documents submitted to the city.
The restaurant will sit on what currently is an unimproved .8-acre parcel just south of the southeast corner of John Wayne Parkway and Edison Road. The documents filed with the city state that eegee’s is interested in that location because it will be an asset to the city by developing a currently vacant parcel in the city’s core.
Eegee’s originated in Tucson 51 years ago and has become a fixture in the local communities of southern Arizona, where the bulk of its 30 stores are located. According to the narrative, the company’s philosophy is to place eegee’s restaurants in high growth residential areas, where it can serve a wide variety of customers.
