Buy a Cheba Hut Franchise

Cheba Hut “Toasted” Subs is a cannabis-themed sandwich franchise that has been “escaping the established” since 1998. Founded by Scott Jennings, Cheba Hut broke the mold of fast-casual dining by creating a unique, counterculture sub shop that combines homegrown recipes, a chill, eclectic environment, and genuine service. With over 75 locations across more than 16 states, Cheba Hut has cultivated a loyal fan base and a reputation for industry-leading unit economics. The brand’s average net sales exceeded $2.3 million in 2024, nearly double that of typical sandwich franchises, with same-store sales growth over 16%. Cheba Hut’s commitment to individuality is evident in its “Secret Stash” menu—featuring sandwiches unique to each market—and its focus on local community engagement. The business model emphasizes simplicity, streamlined operations, and fun, making it easier for owners to enjoy running their restaurants while delivering high-quality, memorable food experiences.
