Cheba Hut is lining up another Fort Worth outpost along the North Freeway, and state paperwork suggests the project is on a pretty brisk schedule. Construction is slated to kick off in mid-January, with the roughly 2,800-square-foot buildout at 9833 North Freeway, Suite 171, potentially wrapping by spring. Franchisee Chance Steed is listed on permits to convert the shell space into the new shop.
State Filings Lay Out Construction Timeline
According to What Now, the chain filed paperwork with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation for the North Freeway address at 9833 North Freeway, Suite 171. The documents call for work to start January 18 and describe a 2,800-square-foot conversion of grey-shell space. Per What Now, the filing projects construction could finish by April 26, while also noting that the timeline is not set in stone.
Local Franchisee Will Helm The Outpost
Chance Steed, who previously brought Cheba Hut to Fort Worth and already runs the 8th Avenue location, is listed as the franchisee for the new North Freeway spot. Earlier coverage of Steed’s openings has tracked his role in growing the brand in North Texas. Fort Worth Magazine profiled him when the 8th Avenue shop launched and highlighted his local ties.
