Business Briefcase ByConnorDziawura

IN THE BIZ

Hello, everyone. Thank you, again, for sticking around weekly. I appreciate the feedback as well as inquiries I receive. The West Valley business community is aplenty with developments, updates and other news, so it’s always great to discover new happenings.

This week, I have a strong roundup of updates. I’m sure you’ve read my reports on Planet Fitness and Goodwill openings coming to Goodyear; this time, I have additional news on those locations, so stick around for the details. But beyond those items, I will touch upon a major acquisition that recently occurred in Avondale and address several ways veterans are receiving support from the West Valley – or even the whole Valley. Here’s the news!

A few weeks back, I mentioned a Planet Fitness opening in Goodyear.

Well, I can now inform you that the new location is officially open. It opened Monday, April 16.

And now that it’s open for business, the Southwest Valley Chamber of Commerce will welcome the new gym as a member with a ribbon-cutting ceremony from noon to 12:30 p.m.

Friday, May 4.

Located at 515 S. Cotton Lane, the new 17,000-square-foot Planet Fitness will be open 24/7. For the remainder of the month, Planet Fitness’s Goodyear

location is offering memberships at $1 down and $10 per month.

Planet Fitness brands itself a “Judgment-Free Zone,” and this location’s amenities include – but are not limited to – cardio machines, strength equipment, locker rooms and tanning beds.

For more information on the new Planet Fitness, call 623-900-2005 or visit planetfitness.com/gyms/goodyear-az. For more information on the ribbon-cutting ceremony, contact 623-932-2260 or info@southwestvalleychamber.org.

Moving along, late last month, Virtua Partners acquired a 22-acre parcel in Avondale for $3.11 million.

It will be rezoned for residential and commercial uses by Virtua Partners affiliate Quyp Development.

“We’re excited about developing another project in Avondale,” Quyp Development President Nick Montague said. “This is our sixth development project in Avondale and we are happy to be a part of this growing community.”

The 22-acre parcel is located at West Indian School Road and North El Mirage Road.

“There are a number of job drivers and local attractions that make this a strong site,” Montague added. “These include Luke Air Force Base, MLB Spring Training facilities, the Banner Estrella Medical Center and the NFL (USPS 004-616) is published weekly

Additionally, the MinuteClinic at 2840 N. Dysart Road in Goodyear is one of 25 Phoenix-area locations participating in a joint initiative with the VA Health Care System (VAHCS) and TriWest Healthcare Alliance. MinuteClinic is CVS Health’s retail medical clinic.

The program launched in April 2017, so why is this notable now? Well, CVS Health, the Phoenix VAHCS and TriWest announced on April 18 that nearly 1,500 Phoenix-area veterans received “high-quality, timely and convenient health care services” over the first year.

U.S. Sen. John McCain is cited as a key person in the launch of the program, which allows Phoenix VAHCS nurses to connect veterans with minor illnesses and injuries to MinuteClinic through the Veterans Choice Program.

MinuteClinic is open seven days a week. Appointments are not necessary.

Veterans can call the Phoenix VAHCS Help Line at 602-222-6550 or toll free at 800-574-7174 for a referral to one of the 25 locations. Help Line hours expanded to include evenings and weekends since the program’s launch.

Cielo by Pinnacle West Homes opens at Estrella BySherryJackson A new neighborhood and a new builder makes its debut in the 20,000acre master-planned community of Estrella in Goodyear.

Soft-close doors and drawers are standard on our cabinets, as is dovetail flooring and five-inch baseboards.”

Homebuyers are flocking to Estrella.

It’s one of the fastest-growing communities in the Valley and that makes attracting builders easy.
