IN THE BIZ
Hello, readers! There’s a lot to discuss today, with plenty of new entries making their way into the West Valley’s vibrant and growing business and development communities. Whether you’re in Goodyear, Tolleson, Avondale or even far west in Phoenix, I have something that may be of interest to you this week. Looking for White Barn candles or other Bath & Body Works products? Check. A new hotel coming to Tolleson? Check. Mortgage lending and senior living? Got you covered! But to top it off, I’ll round out with some details about another approaching chamber Lunch N Learn, as well as West Valley Women’s July luncheon, which will celebrate the organization’s 13th anniversary. Here’s the news! First, a Bath & Body Works is coming to Palm Valley Pavilions in Goodyear in early July, according to a spokesperson at L Brands, Bath & Body Works’ parent company. L Brands also confirmed a White Barn Shop will be inside the store. The new Bath & Body Works will be located on the west side of Litchfield Road, south of McDowell Road. For more information, visit bathandbodyworks.com or bathandbodyworks.com/c/ home-fragrance/white-barn-shop. Moving along, a new Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott broke ground Friday, June 8, in Tolleson. (See related story in News.) The 116-room hotel is expected to open in summer of 2019, with guest rooms ranging from 265 to 465 square feet. It will also have handicap accessible
rooms. Floor plans show a fitness center; pool; laundry rooms; a business center; work, office and meeting rooms; lobby, lounge and breakfast areas; and a corner market. Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott will be located at the southeast corner of 91st Avenue and McDowell Road. Then, two new Valley entries are here and celebrating their respective grand openings, courtesy the Southwest Valley Chamber of Commerce. First is Mariposa Point at Algodón Center. Located at 3100 N. 91st Avenue, Phoenix, the new Mariposa Point will hold its grand opening event from 4 to 5 p.m. Wednesday, June 20. Surpass Senior Living owns Mariposa Point, an assisted living and memory care facility, which has locations in Gilbert, Mesa, Phoenix and Surprise.

Then, later in the month, a new American Financial Network branch will also celebrate its grand opening. Located at 12725 W. Indian School Road, Suite E-118, Avondale, the mortgage lender’s event is set to take place from noon to 1 p.m. Friday, June 29.
