Firehouse Subs is set to open its first Cheyenne - and Wyoming - location in the Pershing MarketPlace!

Pershing MarketPlace History/Background

Pershing MarketPlace is an up-and-coming plaza that had signs up of future development in 2018 and began seeing businesses get built and opened in 2019. It took over the entire block between McCann Ave/North College Dr and E Pershing Blvd/Atkin St, part of which was previously occupied by a long-since-vacated home.

Qdoba Mexican Eats opened its second location in 2019, followed by Dog Haus Biergarten opening its first Cheyenne location at the start of 2020.

Dazbog opened its second Cheyenne location roughly in the center of the plaza in 2020. The same year, North Platte Physical Therapy (previously at the former Hollywood Video now AeroCare) relocated to the building just west of Qdoba.

Pizza Hut (previously at the space on Western Way that is now occupied by Pour Decisions) and CellOnly Verizon (previously at the Cheyenne Plaza in what is now occupied by Murdoch's due to their store expansion) moved into the most recently built building at the northwest corner plaza; Cheyenne Pack and Ship opened its new location in the same building as well.

Dog Haus expanded to Cheyenne with its Biergarten location just south of Qdoba. Castorena's Granite & Quartz LLC opened its show room in the space directly next to Dazbog Coffee.

With all these businesses, it left only one space within the existing buildings needing occupied, and it appears that the final empty tenant space is now going to be occupied!

Officially posted as a future Firehouse Subs location

As soon as a month ago, it was noticed here at Optopolis that some kind of construction work was happening inside Unit C at 3901 E Pershing Blvd (the soon-to-be Firehouse Subs location between Cheyenne Pack and Ship and CellOnly Verizon), but it wasn't clear exactly what was happening there... That is, until recently.

KGAB did an article mentioning Firehouse Subs was set to come to Cheyenne, sharing the fact that the future Cheyenne location is now listed on Firehouse Subs' website. Sure enough, a visit to the space revealed not only that Firehouse Subs was coming, but coming in June of this year according to stickers in the windows. Permanent signage was also already installed on both sides of the building.

At the time of visit, one could tell from a distance that the inside was still not finished, but work on the space was actively continuing.

A Dutch Bros location is slated to be built along East Pershing Boulevard just west of the Pershing Marketplace. Previous events with Dutch Bros and Cheyenne Back in late 2021, site plans visible in the Cheyenne City Planning and Development website indicated the old Dell Range Rolando's Mexican Grill would be demolished and that Dutch Bros was planning to build a restaurant there.

Old Chicago Pizza & Taproom sign illuminated after closing on the final day - Optopolis This was quite last minute, but it's true. Cheyenne's Old Chicago Pizza and Taproom permanently closed yesterday evening, at least an hour before their normal closing time of 10 PM on Sundays. A glance at the history of it According to Old Chicago's about page , Old Chicago dates back to its 1976 founding in Boulder, Colorado. They brag about their "tavern thin and classic thick crust pizzas" and their "110 local and legendary beers." Here at Optopolis, their pizza and broccoli-cheese soup (pictured below) were go-to items to eat in visits to the restaurant throughout the years. "I think this was the first place I ever tried the broccoli and cheddar soup," recalls Optopolis while recording a brief video clip. "I don't think I tried anywhere else before that, as far as I remember." The Laramie County Property assessor notes that Cheyenne'
