Lefty's Cheesesteaks, one of the fastest and highest quality fast casual food franchises in the United States, has announced its expansion into the rapidly growing Cleveland area.
Lefty's, which has a corporate headquarters for its nationwide operations based in Southfield, Michigan, continued to innovate and reorganise as an even stronger business following the adjustments we instituted during the pandemic, plans to expand throughout the Ohio market statewide. The company has been thrilled and excited to begin this expansion by planting its flag in the great city of Cleveland.
Lefty's founder and CEO Sam Berry and Cleveland Browns star quarterback Deshaun Watson, an equity owner and Pro Bowl selection and former first-round draft pick and national champion at Clemson, have launched a corporate-owned, fast-casual Lefty's Cheesesteaks location in University Heights, Ohio 44118. This will be the first of many in Ohio.
On April 4, 2024, Lefty's will open its first of many locations in the state of Ohio. Berry and Watson, along with friends and family, plan to celebrate the historic launch together on this day with considerable enthusiasm as the restaurant opens its doors to the great people of Northeast Ohio.
"I'm extremely excited and so is Deshaun for us to expand into the backyard of where the company was founded in the state of Michigan," Berry said.
"And it makes great sense, seeing as we're expanding the correct way with market research and logistics with our food supply vendor Miceli and Oldfield as our partners in this business venture. My friendship, partnership and brotherhood with Deshaun means everything to me. We embarked on this journey four years ago and our plan was to always turn Lefty's into a national chain. And our focus hasn't changed both on and off the field."
Berry said that the Lefty's product can speak for itself, with its high-quality steak, fresh vegetables and famously imported Amorosa buns. Other signature items include Sam's cheesesteak, the Southpaw with the hot crushed Cheetos on the top, the freshly rolled cheesesteaks and corn beef egg rolls, regular, curly and loaded fries, signature cheesecakes and milkshakes and the partnership with Pepsi products.
"What separates Lefty's from most brands is that Lefty's has a unique brand, and that's cheesesteaks," Berry said.
"Every time one of our wonderful customers comes to Lefty's, they are greeted and treated as if they were our own family. We have a focused menu that allows us to concentrate better on perfecting these menu items we are so proud of. It makes it easier and greater to execute efficiently, consistently and professionally as humanly possible. At Lefty's we offer a family-friendly, unforgettable food experience that will leave you craving for more."
