Business Briefcase

IN THE BIZ
Hello, readers! We have an eventful week and a regular Goodyear City Council meeting yielded quite a few results – some of them long-awaited. There’s also a new Music & Arts. But outside of Goodyear, business is booming, too, with developments regarding boba shop Teacup and the Immersive Teaching STEAM Academy in Litchfield Park. A new location for the popular locally owned and operated Bosa Donuts is coming east of Luke Air Force Base; but that’s just scratching the surface. I have the details below! First, Goodyear City Council approved the final plat for Pebble Creek Marketplace, at the southwest corner of Pebble Creek Parkway and McDowell Road, on August 20. Pebble Creek Marketplace is the future site of the Babbo Italian Eatery I mentioned last week. I’d be remiss if I neglected to mention WinCo Foods, though there’s not much in the way of updates, unfortunately. I recently spoke with the city’s Economic Development Department, who informed me there is no word yet on the long-awaited WinCo, which would be located at Pebble Creek Marketplace. What I can tell you, though, is that council’s action means the new Circle K and Panera Bread (to be relocated from across the street) will progress. No word yet on the timeline for those

two, though Babbo anticipates its own early 2019 opening. (See West Valley View’s July 4 story “Babbo Italian Eatery coming to Goodyear in 2019” and August 22 Business Briefcase column.) At that same council meeting, a use permit was approved for a future drive-through restaurant in the Canyon Trails Towne Center, at the northeast corner of Cotton Lane and Yuma Road. I have not yet heard back as to what will occupy the space. In other recent news, Teacup is new to Litchfield Park. It is located at 13000 W. Indian School Road, Unit A-14, at the northeast corner of Indian School and Dysart roads. The new family-owned boba shop offers drinks like the strawberry matcha latte, milk tea, Thai tea, mangonada and the interestingly named avalanche and Oreo chocolate goodness. Some (USPS 004-616) is published weekly
