Business Briefcase

ByConnorDziawura

IN THE BIZ

Greetings, readers! Welcome back to another great edition of Business Briefcase. As May is well underway, I have plenty of developments to discuss for the week.

As can be expected, plenty is happening in Goodyear, but this week brings some news from areas not as often represented. There was a land purchase in Tonopah, but there are also several items in western Phoenix.

But of course, with plenty of developments on the table, the Southwest Valley Chamber of Commerce is aiding a new Goodyear-based army recruitment center in holding its grandopening ceremony, while also bringing back the popular Lunch N Learn session, albeit with a new focus. Well, let’s get into the nitty-gritty of what I just mentioned. Here are the details!

First, JR Investments 1 LLC purchased 200 acres of land east of 383rd Avenue and Indian School Road in Tonopah for $1.7 million.

SVN | Desert Commercial Advisors’ Jonathan Levy represented the seller, James Coyne of Nevada-based Indian School 200 LLC, in the off-market cash transaction. The escrow period was 60 days.

“I am happy for both my client, as well as the buyer for adding another investment property to his portfolio,” Levy said.

According to an SVN | Desert Commercial Advisors press release, Coyne was still contemplating whether to sell the property after his initial conversation with Levy, who then presented him with market statistics on future growth and development expectations. The choice then became a no-brainer.

“Jonathan certainly earned his fee on this transaction for the simple reason he called me,” Coyne said. “It’s a great example of being persistent in this business.”

Chase Bank, a 4,214-square-foot net-leased property in Goodyear, also recently sold for $4.95 million.

The sale was announced by commercial real estate investment services firm Marcus & Millichap via its Phoenix office’s regional manager, Ryan Sarbinoff. Chase Bank is located at 9846 S. Estrella Parkway.

Continuing, a new army recruitment center will hold its grand opening event at noon Monday, May 14.

Lt. Col. David Clukey, battalion commander, will be present, and refreshments will be served. The community is invited.

The army recruitment center is located at 15570 W. Van Buren Street, Suite 102, Goodyear.

Last week I discussed Abrazo West’s “A” grade, awarded by The Leapfrog Group in its latest hospital safety report card. Well, the Washington, D.C.based organization awarded Banner Estrella Medical Center an “A” grade as well.

Banner Estrella and Abrazo West are among 750 “A”-grade hospitals spanning the country, which also includes Abrazo’s Central and Arrowhead campuses.

“It’s a tremendous honor to once again receive the highest grade possible for safety,” said Courtney Ophaug,

Trek Bicycle Store rebuilds from the ground up

ByConnorDziawura

Trek Bicycle Store of West Phoenix moved from Avondale to Goodyear and it’s the company’s only concept store in the Valley.

“The only other concept store is in Tucson," co-owner Brandon van Leuven said. Tucson boasts two.

The Goodyear store is essentially a brand showcase, focusing primarily on Trek Bicycle Corp. products. They do, however, carry some other brands of bikes and accessories, too.

Van Leuven and his business partner, Brian Abraham, opened Trek Bicycle Store of West Phoenix in Avondale in February 2011. Because the two quickly outgrew their space, they moved to a temporary location last fall while construction on a new, larger location was underway. Just over a month ago, Abraham and van Leuven moved into their new permanent location in Goodyear.

“We just wanted a larger space to showcase more product and to have more room in back for our mechanics to work and repair bikes and everything like that,” Abraham said. “So, it was just kind of a need to get a little bit bigger space.”

Van Leuven added they saw the expense in leasing and paying rent.

“Having our own piece of land, having our own building, this is something that’s going to be our future, really,” he said.

The new space next to Rudy’s BarB-Q was built from the ground up.

Though the interior showroom is basically complete, they said, awnings and other finishing touches on the exterior remain.

Trek Bicycle Store of West Phoenix’s “pride and joy,” van Leuven added, will soon turn high-tech.

“We are finalizing some of the software and things,” van Leuven said.

“We have a 3-D motion capture fit studio that we’re getting together, and that will be something that’s pretty special that nobody else – at least in the state – has, for sure.

Trek Bicycle Store of West Phoenix recently moved into a larger showroom in Goodyear.

“Once we get that up and running, we system, they intend for it to be a big become proficient at it, that’s going to draw.

“I think it’ll be pretty cool once it’s be a very special piece of our business.”

The room, Abraham said, will allow all up and running and word kind of shop employees to “fine tune” based on gets around that we have the capabilhip movements, different leg lengths or ity to do something like this,” Abraham any number of circumstances on a per- said. “It’s kind of cool to have that level son-to-person basis. The two compared of technology for riders here in the Valley.” it to motion capture used for films.

“Where we got it from, they had made two for the entire world, and one Trek Bicycle Store of West Phoenix of them was this one and the other one 13810 W. Test Drive was at a bike shop in Germany,” Abra- Goodyear 623-536-8454 ham said.

The room uses a variety of cameras trekwestphoenix.com as well as markers placed on riders to view a 3-D representation of their bicycling movements through a computer screen.

“It can get me angles in real time,” fitter/mechanic Glenn Amundsen said. “It’s definitely a lot more accurate to take the measurement while the person’s actually riding on the bike” as opposed to taking manual measurements.

Although the locally owned and operated location's employees are still Bike enthusiasts Brian Abraham, left, and Brandon van getting up to speed on the Leuven own Trek's Goodyear shop. (West Valley View photos by

Briefcase...continued from page 1 CEO of Banner Estrella Medical Center. “Our team does an exceptional job of continually focusing on making sure every patient receives high quality, safe care every time.”

The grades are awarded every spring and fall, with Banner Estrella receiving an “A” in patient safety each time since fall 2015.

Efforts in patient protection and high safety standards are considered when The Leapfrog Group awards grades, which reflect hospitals’ performances on specific process and outcome measures. The peer-reviewed, fully transparent and free-to-the-public Leapfrog Hospital Safety Grade is based on 27 measures of publicly available hospital safety data and developed under the guidance of an expert panel.
