PHOENIX — A popular Tucson fast food chain is bringing its signature frozen drinks to metro Phoenix next year.

Eegee’s will open five Valley locations in 2021, the company announced Friday in a press release.

Eegee’s will have a location in Phoenix, Mesa, Scottsdale and two in Gilbert.

No other details about the locations were immediately available.

The fast food chain has previously had Valley locations but doesn’t have any as of now.

The company’s signature frozen treats have also been available at some Valley Blimpie sandwich shops.

Currently, the closest Eegee’s location to metro Phoenix is in Casa Grande.

Eegee’s has more than 20 locations across Tucson and has been in business since 1971.

The chain is known for its eegee flavored frozen drinks and grinder sandwiches.
