Business Briefcase

ByConnorDziawura

IN THE BIZ

Hello, everyone, and welcome back to Business Briefcase!

This week’s edition of Business Briefcase brings with it the news of several new businesses in the West Valley. Rather than dawdling this week, I’m going to get straight into the news.

Entertainment junkies get ready, because a thrilling new adventure park is coming to the West Valley. Likewise, a local hot yoga studio and national pizza chain have been making moves in the West Valley. So keep reading to find out all the details.

First, trampoline enthusiasts get ready!

Urban Air Adventure Park is opening a Goodyear location this summer at 15305 W. McDowell Road and will employ 60 people, with applications accepted starting this spring.

“We are thrilled to announce our newest location in Goodyear, to add to our growing portfolio of Arizona locations,” said Michael Browning, CEO of Urban Air Adventure Parks.

The 35,000-square-foot attraction park will feature everything from the expected trampolines to dodgeball courts. But the entertainment extends much further.

Urban Air Goodyear will also have its Stunt Airbag, Slam Dunk Tracks, TUBES Obstacle Course, Urban Warrior Course, Warrior Battle Beam and Runway Tumble Track, as well as an arcade.

“Our location in Goodyear is part of a multiunit deal within the Phoenix

FirstBank, which has multiple Arizona branches, recently donated $500,000 toward educating Arizona’s youth. Of that donation, $50,000 is going toward student tuition assistance at St. John Vianney School in Goodyear through Catholic Education Arizona.

region,” Browning continued. “The residents of Phoenix, Litchfield Park, Tolleson, Waddell, Buckeye, Surprise, Tempe, Glendale, Mesa, Chandler, Scottsdale, Avondale and Goodyear will be able to experience our avantgarde approach to safe, family fun and award-winning birthday party packages with our innovative and thrilling adventure attractions.”

Also present will be the Urban Air Adventure Hub, with elements such as climbing walls and ropes courses, among other fun activities.

The Urban Cafe will also be available for when fun-seekers see their appetites rise.

Urban Air hosts anything from children’s birthday parties to corporate gatherings.

Next, Bikram Yoga Avondale on Dysart and Thomas roads is now known as Onefire. The yoga studio, located at (USPS 004-616) is published weekly

Millennium grad finds success with Teaspressa ByChristinaFuoco-Karasinski Goodyear native Allison DeVane believed she had one route when she graduated from Millennium High School in 2008: earn a degree, get a job, then, get benefits.

She tried multiple employers, but nothing felt right.

“I could never keep just one job for over a year,” she said. “I was very disengaged or felt like I could do more.”

She could. Three years ago, she started the successful Teaspressa, Phoenix-based gourmet beverage company that sells signature tea drinks that are comparable to lattes, mochas or other coffee beverages.

“I’m a coffee fanatic,” she said. “I love coffee. When I wanted to start a business, it was going to be a coffee shop. But there are a lot of great coffee shops out there.

“I basically decided to Americanize tea. Tea, after water, is the most consumed beverage in the entire world.

We drink it here in America, but it’s not as embraced and accepted as coffee, which is made instantly. It gets you going in the morning. I made tea into something that’s more enjoyable.”

Teaspressa’s baristas handcraft the first and only hybrid beverage that combines coffee and tea. Its signature tea blends are loose leaf and prepared like espresso shots, resulting in gourmet tea lattes and coffee-inspired beverages that contain

Briefcase...continued from page 1 Then, the Southwest Valley Chamber of Commerce is holding Friday Business Connections every second and fourth Friday of the month.

The next session will be Friday, January 12. Doors open at 7:30 a.m. for this event, which is free and open for all who wish to attend, network and share their business cards. If you’re interested in attending this chamber event, it will be located at Main Event, 10315 W. McDowell Road, Avondale.

For more information, contact Jacob Mann at info@southwestvalleychamber. org or 623-932-2260.

as much caffeine as espresso.

“Some describe it as a different coffee,” she said. “It’s actually tea. There are no other additives. We don’t add caffeine or anything like that. It’s all-natural tea. We use organic tea, which is nice.”

A Shark Tank alum, DeVane expanded Teaspressa in October to Frank Lloyd Wright’s Taliesin West, a National Historic Landmark and home of the School of Architecture at Taliesin and the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation.

“It’s a good spot,” she said. “I appreciate the art here, and business wise, it’s also great. We started in a nontraditional way.

We started with online sales.

“We sell tea blends and infused sugar cubes so people can make the teas at home. We recently started a wholesale program. Now, we’re at the point where we can afford to have our own brick and mortar, which was our original business plan. This is one of our locations.”

An Arcadia location is expected to open soon, as will other stores in the Valley. She is working on an outlet in Ann Arbor, Michigan, too.

DeVane has been motivated to succeed since she was a business marketing student at ASU. The Barrett, The Honors College, student who minored in design, was a part of the alumni association when she was a student. DeVane designed the posters the football players ran through at games.

“I was involved in a lot of clubs and I started clubs, too,” she said. “I was just always dabbling in a lot of things.

In ASU, I was part of sorority and scholarship programs. ASU opened a lot of doors for internships and trying out different industries.”

She interned at KPMG in accounting, but soon realized that wasn’t the right direction for her. She changed her major and appreciates “how flexible ASU was.”

The 2012 ASU graduate is part of the Barrett Cabinet, and helps plan fundraisers and other events.

“I like doing things to help further the kids, as far as opportunities,” she said. “I like to connect with people and give life advice.”

She wouldn’t have her life any other way.

“Every day is different,” DeVane said. “If I’m not working, I don’t make money. It encourages me to do my best, which can be tiring and exhausting. But I really, really, really enjoy it.”

marketing. Located at the chamber, 289 N. Litchfield Road, Goodyear, this class is a continuation of a yearlong, monthly partnership between the two entities. From 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., stop by to learn all about social media marketing. The class is free to the public, but with limited reservations available, be sure to reach out early.

For more information, contact info@ southwestvalleychamber.org or 623932-2260.

Finally, FirstBank donated $190,000 to Catholic Education Arizona (CEA), $50,000 of which will be provided to St. John Vianney School in Goodyear. In full, FirstBank donated $500,000 toward Arizona youth education nonprofits. The West Valley school is just one of many throughout the state that will receive the benefits.

The $50,000 for St. John Vianney School will be put toward student tuition assistance.

“Parents should not feel financially burdened when it comes to educating their kids,” said Joel Johnson, FirstBank’s East Valley market president. “We hope this donation will alleviate concerns for some families and enable their children to get the best education possible.”

That’s all the briefs for this week.
