Sign Says Cheba Hut Coming To Cheyenne Soon

A sign in the window of a building that has been the location of the Dog Haus Biergarten says Cheba Hut will be opening soon there.

Townsquare Media of Cheyenne as of Monday morning had not been able to verify that the sandwich shop is indeed opening in Wyoming's Capitol City.  A search of the company's locations website showed several Cheba Hut outlets in Colorado, including Fort Collins, Greeley, Johnstown and Denver.

But no locations in Cheyenne, or anywhere in Wyoming were listed.

While the Dog Haus Facebook page has entries for as recently as December 3, an online entry for the eatery says it is "permanently closed." Numerous posts on social media have alleged over the last year or so that the company had not paid employees

An attempt to access a website at "cheyenne.doghaus.com" was unsuccesful, yielding a response of "not found." The building where it was located was resportedly put up for lease recently.

The restaurant had been located at 3838 Atkin Street in Cheyenne. The same building has the sign shown in the above photo in the window. However, it includes no details beyond saying the Cheyenne Cheba Hut is "coming soon."

What Is Cheba Hut?

So what is Cheba Hut? A website for the sandwich shop shows a picture of a large cannabis leaf, and that theme seems to be a recurrent part of the company's imagery.

But the company in it's social media doesn't claim to be any kind of cannabis outlet, and indeed weed remains illegal in Wyoming.

The company does describe itself this way under ''Our Story' on it's website:

''Cheba Hut is a “Toasted” sub concept that has been curing munchies since 1998. Our Huts not only tout the best bread in the business, but our foodies “Flip the Bird” to the establishment with our homegrown food, our relaxed environment and our amazing employees; who actually enjoy rollin in our joint.''

As of October there were 69 Cheba Hut locations in 24 states, a list which at that point did not include Wyoming. It was founded in Tempe, Arizona, in 1998.
