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

Changing focus to learning opportunities for the business community, other standard and informative chamber events for business owners are approaching. One is Marketing 101. Free and open to the public, the event will be held from noon to 1:30 p.m. Thursday, April 19. This is a continuation of the DexYP and chamber partnership courses I have discussed in past editions of Business Briefcase. The chamber is holding one per month, each with a different focus. April’s focus will provide insight on marketing, advertising, promotions, branding and social media, all aimed to help find and retain customers. One other event I will discuss today is the recurring Lunch N Learn. This day’s focus is Saving vs. Investing: What is the difference? It will be held from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. Tuesday, April 24. The event is sponsored by LifeTyme Financial Group. Lunch will be provided at both events. Seating is limited, so contact the Southwest Valley Chamber of Commerce at 623-9322260 or info@southwestvalleychamber. org to RSVP. The chamber is located at 289 N. Litchfield Road, Goodyear.
