If you love mac and cheese, you aren’t alone. In fact, you might already be a patron of the fast-casual company bearing the very-on-the-nose name, I Heart Mac & Cheese. The eatery, a franchise with locations across the nation, has already moved into Tempe. Now, it appears, a second AZ location is in the works.
Our lease intel suggests the franchise will expand to Scottsdale. The eatery will take over a 1,550 square-foot retail space at 16500 N Scottsdale Rd next month.
Maybe you’re a mac and cheese-enthusiast but this joint is a mystery to you. We’ve got you covered.
The concept is all about customizable, made-to-order mac. That means you get to build your own bowl of cheesy goodness. The company’s website provides the 5 simple steps you must take before you can eat your heart out. First you choose your base, which can be of pasta, quinoa, broccoli, cauliflower, or tater tots (so the company thinks outside of the box…even better). After that, you’ll choose your sauce, vegetables, protein, and of course, cheese.
If you’re feeling indecisive one day, you shouldn’t worry. The company serves up their own curated bowls, including a Maine Lobster and White Truffle bowl. Need I say more?
We were unable to reach the franchisee at the time of publication, so we can’t currently provide an opening timeline. You can follow I Heart Mac & Cheese AZ’s social media for the pertinent announcements.
