After a successful store in Tempe, franchisees Chatiya Jones-Dean and Jamaal Dean signed a lease for a second Mr. Fries Man at 83rd Avenue and Lake Pleasant Parkway, What Now Phoenix confirmed in a message.
Along with their menu of french fries topped with various proteins and sauces, they focused on creating a family vibe and partnerships with local high schools, Jones-Dean told abc15 Arizona last June.
The new location will open at 83rd Avenue and Lake Pleasant Parkway, sitting inside a former Blimpie and next to a Goodwill Thrift Store and Fletcher’s Sports Grill. A new opening date has not been set. Co-owners Chatiya Jones-Dean and Jamaal Dean did not return a request for further comment by What Now Phoenix’s at the time of publication.
Mr. Fries Man premiered in 2016 when a Los Angeles area urban chef experimented in their home kitchen, eventually moving into a successful restaurant housed in Gardena, California by 2017. According to their website, it was an aggressive social media campaign and commitment to accessibility that boosted their popularity and success.
Nice big potatoes. Friendly service. They are willing to make your order however you like. I recommend it.
