b u sin ess b r i e fca s e ByNikiD’Andrea Greetings, readers, and welcome (back) to the Business Briefcase! We took a break last week, which did not go unnoticed. We heard from many people in the community, who said they regularly read this column and were disappointed we didn’t run it in the July 19 issue. During the Business Briefcase break, we were hanging around the West Valley towns we cover, talking to city council members, reaching out to the chambers of commerce, responding to emails from readers, researching recent economic developments in your cities, and fielding feedback about the new look of the West Valley View – mostly positive (thank you), with numerous requests to bring back Business Briefs. Well, we’re happy to bring BB back from

its weeklong summer vacation, if you will, and we don’t plan to let it get away again anytime soon. Speaking of summer – and foods particularly suited to this sweltering season – Dickey’s Barbecue Pit moved into 15525 W. Roosevelt Street in Goodyear over the weekend. The owners and operators of the franchise, Tiffany Oder and Chade Burge, fired up the pits and celebrated the grand opening with free smoky meat treats for the first 50 guests, $2 pulled pork sandwiches, and free meals for kids with an adult purchase of $10 or more. Further franchise news: Florida-based company The Learning Experience plans to open one of its children’s centers in Goodyear. The freestanding centers include 10,000 square feet of retail space and a 2,000-square-foot playground. The

centers serve kids 6 weeks to 6 years old. Also in the “coming soon” category, a new Fry’s Food & Drug location is slated to open at the Village Grove in Buckeye in late 2017. Studio Styles AR recently opened at Plaza in the Park, 4830 N. Litchfield Road, Suite 106, Litchfield Park. The salon can be reached at 623-547-1849. All six West Valley chambers of commerce will come together for the Biz 2 Biz Expo at the Glendale Civic Center, 5750 W. Glenn Drive, on August 24. The event is free to attend and open to the public, and will offer information on marketing one’s businesses, as well as opportunities to showcase products and services. Visit wvcca.com for more information. That’s it for this week. Thanks for reading.

Buckeye chamber tourney unites ByCarsonMlnarik

IN THE BIZ

There is still time to register for the Buckeye Valley Chamber of Commerce’s Swing & Sweat Golf Tournament on Saturday, August 19. Held at the Verrado Golf Club, the event is a highlight for the Buckeye Valley Chamber of Commerce and the surrounding community. Tedy Burton, “friend raiser” and staff at the chamber, said the event has been very successful since it began 19 years ago. “It’s one of our larger fundraising opportunities,” Burton said. “We get anywhere from 60 to 80 golfers.” The event is open to single players and

teams. Single players’ fees start at $75, which includes green fees, cart, range balls and lunch. Team registration begins at $300. Buckeye companies can opt for the major sponsor package, which includes four players, signage and their logo on printed materials. For the cheerleaders and golf caddies, there will be mulligans, raffle tickets, poker hand and licorice ropes available at the check-in booth. “Come and expect to enjoy yourself,” Burton says. “We swing and we sweat.” Check-in for players starts at 6 a.m. and the games begin at 7 a.m. The Verrado Golf Club is located at 4242 N.

It doesn’t take a killer swing to get involved, though. Burton said the chamber is still looking for volunteers to assist with registration and the silent auction. Those looking to get involved or showcase their best swing can find information about registration at buckeyevalleychamber.org or 623-386-2727. Registration ends August 11. The Buckeye Valley Chamber of Commerce is led by chairman Thad Chapman and president Deanna Kupcik. The Chamber of Commerce is a membership organization from the business and professional communities and works to support local business and build strong partnerships with all parts of Buckeye Valley. Subscriptions are $26 for 2 years, $14 for one year. Periodicals postage paid at Goodyear, AZ 85338.
