Business Briefcase ByConnorDziawura
IN THE BIZ
Hello, everyone, and welcome back to another great column of Business Briefcase. Well, we have finally hit triple-digit temperatures. With the weather hitting 100 degrees April 10, spring has come and passed, it seems. I wish we had a little bit more time to enjoy the cooler temperatures, but alas. Enough of my rambling, though. Let’s get on with what you all came here for! This week, I have an array of different business updates for you. Ranging from a sizeable update to a Buckeye business, to several Goodyear businesses celebrating with ribbon cuttings, all the way to several returning chamber events that are sure to provide quality information to current and future business owners, it’s a diverse lineup of happenings. Well, let’s get on with it, shall we? First on this week’s lineup is Palo Verde Equipment in Buckeye. The business is now a U-Haul neighborhood dealer. This means the West Valley business will offer U-Haul trucks, trailers, towing equipment and moving supplies. It will also incorporate U-Haul Truck Share 24/7, a more convenient and secure option to pick up and return vehicles. Vehicles can be rented at all hours of the day with a smart phone. After hours drop-off is available. Accounts can be created for free at uhaul.com. Palo Verde Equipment is open 7 a.m. to 4:45 p.m. weekdays and 7 a.m. to noon Saturdays. Call 623-691-6135
or visit uhaul.com/locations/truckrentals-near-buckeye-az-85326/043319 to rent a vehicle at this location. Palo Verde Equipment is located at 3617 S. Jackrabbit Trail. Moving along, the Southwest Valley Chamber of Commerce is hosting a pair of ribbon-cutting ceremonies. The first one will be at The Learning Experience at Palm Valley. It will be held at noon Friday, April 27. The Learning Experience offers child care for children ages 6 weeks to 5 years, as well as after school programs for children up to 8 years old at most centers. The Learning Experience at Palm Valley is located at 13922 W. Avalon Drive, Goodyear. For more information, call 623-745-8805 or visit thelearningexperience.com/our-centers/az/goodyear/ palm-valley. Tours can also be scheduled. The second ribbon-cutting ceremony will be held at Carol & Company Salon. It’s a bit further out, as it is set for noon Friday, May 11. The salon offers a variety of services such as haircuts, coloring and texturing, manicures and pedicures, waxing, facials and massages, and a variety of other options such as the Brazilian blowout. Carol & Company Salon is located at 3810 S. Estrella Parkway, Goodyear. For more information, visit carolandcompanyaz.com, or contact 623-925-8181 or info@carolandcompanyaz.com to make an appointment. For more information on either event, (USPS 004-616) is published weekly

Sandwich Masterz serves all-natural options ByConnorDziawura Cas Iurcu wants to change the sandwich industry. To accomplish that task, he and his wife, Darina, opened Sandwich Masterz in Goodyear. “We do not use a lunch meat, a deli meat or a processed meat,” said Iurcu, whose restaurant was welcomed to the Southwest Valley Chamber of Commerce on Thursday, April 12. “We actually use real meat.” The meats are cooked in house, and have no preservatives, fillers or added nitrates, he said. This natural goal continues across Sandwich Masterz’s other ingredients. “Now, the cheeses we use are all natural except for American, and our bread has no preservatives or high fructose corn syrup in it either,” Iurcu explained. Individuals looking to kick the carbs can easily make any sandwich a salad, upon request. Wraps are also a choice.

H.B. 2365 was signed into law, which allows wireless service providers to install and operate small cells and related equipment on certain
Iurcu said the all-natural route was an easy one. “I grew up in Montana, so we always grew up with real meats and everything. And when we looked at all these chains, it was always processed meats,” he explained. Though he understands the reasons large franchises go with the processed options, such as cost effectiveness and accounting for meat shrinkage and fat, it wasn’t the “natural” choice for Sandwich Masterz. “I think this is the future and I think this is what a lot more people are looking for with real, all-natural meats and cheeses,” Iurcu said. The shop’s menu is expansive with more than 150 options. Kids, vegan and vegetarian options are available. “We sell more Italians than any other sandwich on our menu,” Iurcu said. The Italian consists of salami, pepperoni, ham, Italian dressing and
provolone. Another popular choice, he said, is The Perfect Blend, a turkey, bacon, pastrami, roast beef and cheddar cheese choice. On a different end of the spectrum, customers love their prime rib sandwiches, he said. “Our prime rib sandwiches are amazing, too. A lot of people like our garlic peppercorn cheesesteak and things like that,” he said of the prime rib with mayo, onions, peppers, jalapenos, garlic peppercorn sauce and cheese sandwich. Customers have appreciated the Sandwich Masterz’s penchant for fresh items. “So far, we’ve gotten a good response, and we hope to keep it going,” he said.
