Business Briefcase ByConnorDziawura

IN THE BIZ

Hello, everyone. Business is booming in the West Valley, and with that boom comes plenty of updates for me to send your way.

This week I have a jam-packed lineup of news. I’ve been receiving quite a few inquiries regarding upcoming Goodwill locations and a Fry’s Marketplace that I reported on last fall, so I’m giving you answers.

But beyond those updates, CarMax’s West Valley location is hiring, while Leadership West has quite a few interesting happenings coming up, and Pathways delayed the ribbon-cutting event I mentioned a few weeks back.

Here are the details!

First, I’ll start with a pair of updates relating to Goodwill. In February, I reported on a Goodwill set to open at the northwest corner of Litchfield Road and Van Buren Street in March.

It was, however, slightly postponed. It is now slated for May 11, according to a company spokesperson.

A bit further out, the popular thrift store is planning another location.

This one, which will be located at Yuma Road and Sarival Avenue, near Fry’s, is anticipated to arrive later this year, the spokesperson confirmed. No further information is available.

Moving along, I also mentioned Pathways Assisted Living and

Memory Care’s previously planned ribbon-cutting ceremony several weeks back. It was ultimately canceled then rescheduled after West Valley View went to print. The event is set for noon Friday, April 20.

Pathways is an assisted living and memory care complex featuring nine 10-bedroom homes. Pathways boasts living rooms, kitchens and studies, as well as the essential round-the-clock care staff, fun activities and dining opportunities.

Pathways is located at 4211 N. Pebble Creek Parkway, Goodyear. For more information on Pathways, visit pathwaysaz.com or call 602-633-2300.

For more information on this event, contact the Southwest Valley Chamber of Commerce at info@ southwestvalleychamber.org or 623932-2260.

The next item on the agenda is Leadership West. The West Valley organization is currently accepting nominations for leaders who have made a specific positive impact on their organization and community.

The deadline for nominations is 5 p.m.

Thursday, April 26.

The four categories in which individuals can be nominated are Civic Leader of the Year, Business Leader of the Year, Nonprofit Leader of the Year and Alumnus of the Year. Individuals are not required to be Leadership West (USPS 004-616) is published weekly

Java Trolley in full swing at Out West General Store ByConnorDziawura Bill and Leslie Chester have owned Out West General Store in Waddell for over a decade. But as the years have passed, the community’s needs from the old-fashioned general store have changed. In response, the Chesters have come up with innovative ways to grow.

Purchased by the Chesters in February, The Java Trolley previously operated as a mobile unit called Java Stop Trolley under different ownership.

It’s now a permanent fixture in front of Out West General Store.

As a café-style unit, the Java Trolley serves frappes, cappuccinos, brewed coffee, cold brew coffee, Italian sodas, infused teas, or “all that good stuff,” as Leslie put it.

According to her, though, the biggest draw for customers is the historic look of “the trolley itself.”

“It’s a beautiful trolley,” she said. “It really is quite beautiful. They (previous owners) did an amazing job renovating it. They made it as original as they possibly could; in fact, they left the steering wheel in it.”

The previous owners purchased the 1992 Los Angeles electric trolley at a Glendale antique yard, Leslie said.

By the time the Chesters acquired the trolley, it was restored and renovated for barista service.

With Out West General Store’s oldtime feel, Java Trolley is the venture the Chesters were looking for.

“When we saw the trolley and knew that they were interested in not doing that anymore, we thought it was a perfect fit,” Leslie said.

Though still a new addition, Leslie said other plans are in the works.

“It’s kind of a work in progress,” she said. “I mean it’s beautiful as it stands, but our hope is to create an outside Italian café feel. We’re going to put an awning on it. We’re going to put trees and lighting. That’s our plan over the next six months.”

Adding the Java Trolley is just one part of continued expansion for the

general store, though.

“Last year our expansion was the deli,” Leslie said. “We’ve had the deli for several years, but we really expanded it and put in a grill and a fryer and everything last May. We named it Cowboy Café because it really is more of a café than it is a deli.”

The Cowboy Café serves food ranging from burritos and tacos to breakfast items, sub sandwiches, burgers, hot dogs, pizza, wings and Thrifty Ice Cream, though other options are plentiful. The café also takes phone orders at 623-535-3813.

The Out West General Store opened in August 2005. Bill Chester is a thirdgeneration Arizonan.

“His lifelong dream was to build and own an old-fashioned general store like his great-grandparents had in Wyoming,” Leslie said.

The shop sells feed, tack, hardware, groceries, beer and more, though Bill was selling feed and tack several years prior to opening the brick and mortar location, Leslie explained.

She noted the deli/café renovations and addition of the Java Trolley as

necessary additions within a changing community. She has seen older, longtime residents move away while newcomers move in. Reduced horse ownership and a subsequent slight decline in the need for feed caused them to consider expansion through means such as these.

“We’ve kind of had to morph with it, which is part of the reason for the café and deli expansion,” she said. “That’s when we realized we have to be able to be flexible and change with what the needs of the community are.”

Java Trolley is open 8 a.m. to 7 p.m.

Monday to Saturday, and 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday. Out West General Store is open 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Saturday and 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday.

Additionally, several readers have inquired about the future Fry’s Marketplace at Indian School Road and Jackrabbit Trail in Buckeye’s Verrado community. I previously reported on this in October, but due to reader interest, I checked in again with the city regarding the progress. As previously reported, the situation is the same. Because it had been delayed by parent company Kroger to evaluate the changing grocery business, it

I will keep on it in case Kroger changes plans for the location.

For a different type of information, and to round this week’s column out, Navajo Express hired former CFI President Tim Staroba as its executive vice president.

Navajo Express is a nationwide shipping and trucking company, and although it is based in Denver, Colorado, it has a terminal in Tolleson.

Staroba has more than 20 years of experience in the transportation and trucking industry. He began his
