Meet David Timmons and Kyle Archer: The Visionaries Behind Cheba Hut's Rapid Expansion

David Timmons and his partner Kyle Archer are not your typical sandwich makers. In fact, they are the masterminds behind Cheba Hut's largest franchise operation, Elevated Inc., boasting a whopping 22 locations of the cannabis-themed eatery.

Cheba Hut, a quirky restaurant chain with a distinct marijuana motif, has been blazing a trail with 68 locations spread across 15 states. Timmons joined forces with Cheba Hut back in 2010, and since then, he and Archer have been cultivating their empire in Colorado, Nevada, and beyond.

Known for its imaginative sandwiches and a full bar stocked with local craft brews, Cheba Hut has become a hot spot for foodies wanting to elevate their dining experience. And thanks to the dynamic duo of Timmons and Archer, the Cheba Hut family has flourished, with 22 new joints sprouting up from 2021 to 2023.

Despite the laid-back vibe and high times at Cheba Hut, the numbers don't lie. With an average unit volume of $2.03 million for its 58 franchised locations in 2023, this joint is attracting more than just munchies-driven patrons. Surprisingly, alcohol sales only account for a small fraction of revenue, with top-selling sandwiches like the White Widow and Kali Mist keeping customers coming back for more.

Timmons and Archer are not content with resting on their laurels. They see boundless possibilities for Cheba Hut's growth in their target markets, ensuring that the brand's smoky allure continues to resonate with an ever-expanding audience.

So, the next time you're craving a sandwich that's "highly" satisfying, you might want to consider joining the crowd at Cheba Hut. Who knows, you might just get a taste of what it's like to be on Cloud Nine – sans the actual clouds.
