Business Briefcase

ByConnorDziawura

IN THE BIZ

Hello, readers! We have a lot to discuss today, so let’s get this show on the road.

I’ve received quite a few requests regarding new businesses across the West Valley as of late, though some info is still bubbling. Keep an eye out in future issues of Business Briefcase as more businesses come to light and don’t worry if I haven’t gotten to yours yet.

Today, though, I have plenty to start!

From updates regarding Babbo to a major building sale in Tolleson, as well as an organization’s open house, chamber events and more, the West Valley is booming. So, here’s the news!

In early 2019 Babbo Italian Eatery will open its ninth Metro Phoenix location, at Goodyear’s PebbleCreek Marketplace, at the southwest corner of PebbleCreek Parkway and McDowell Road. The restaurant will be 6,000 square feet and accommodate 236 guests. A private dining room will hold parties of 20 to 74 people. Of the restaurant’s eight current locations, two are in the West Valley – Surprise and Glendale, the latter of which kickstarted the restaurant in 2002.

The Goodyear location will take the brand even further. The West Valley View ran a story in July about the local family-owned restaurant’s plans to expand to Goodyear, though the exact location had up to that point not been

revealed. For more information, visit babboitalian.com or facebook.com/ babboitalianeatery, or revisit the West Valley View’s July 4 story “Babbo Italian Eatery coming to Goodyear in 2019.”

On to some more big news, RD Management LLC sold a vacant building in Tolleson to New Generation Properties LLC for $5.5 million. The 86,479-square-foot former Kmart is located at 8701 W. McDowell Road, near the southeast corner of 91st Avenue and McDowell Road, just north of I-10. It neighbors the Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott that broke ground in early June. (See “Marriott breaks ground for Fairfield Inn” in the June 13 West Valley View.)

No information yet on who’s going to fill the building.

“The key to staying competitive in today’s ever-evolving retail industry is focusing your efforts on growing in core markets and diversifying your portfolio to include sectors beyond retail,” said Richard Birdoff, principal and president of RD Management, in a statement. “This approach has worked well for us at RD Management, and our sale in Tolleson is yet another example of us strategically disposing of a property where the proceeds can be reinvested in new real estate assets and opportunities.”

According to Avondale’s Economic (USPS 004-616) is published weekly

Avondale seeks applicants for banner program ByWestValleyViewStaff The Avondale Municipal Art Committee is sponsoring a Hometown Hero streetlight banner program to showcase the faces of Avondale’s military veterans. The program is aimed at recognizing and honoring Avondale residents or their family members who are serving, have served, or have given their life in service in the U.S. Armed Forces.

Banners featuring the faces of Avondale’s military Hometown Heroes will be displayed on street light poles in certain major corridors around national holidays such as Memorial Day and Veterans Day. To be eligible, an individual must be currently serving in the U.S. Armed Forces (Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines and Coast Guard); or a veteran who was honorably discharged or given their life in service in the U.S. Armed Forces. The individual must also be, or have been, a permanent resident of Avondale during some point, or have a

close family member (spouse, parent, legal guardian, grandparent, child or sibling) living in Avondale.

Applications will be reviewed on a first-come-first-served basis by the city’s Employee Veterans Committee and a member of the Avondale Municipal Art Committee. Applicants must submit an official military photo of the person to be honored (minimum 8x10 or 300 dpi digital photo); along with verification of military status (DD214), or if still serving, visit the Department of Defense website (https://scra.dmdc. osd.mil/scra/#/home) and submit a copy of the verification page with the application. Include name, rank and branch of service along with the photo.

The $50 application fee will benefit the Veteran Success Center serving veterans in the West Valley. Checks or money orders can be made payable to the Maricopa Community College Foundation (RE: Veteran Success),

and mailed or dropped off at Avondale City Hall, attn.: Community Relations & Public Affairs Department, 11465 W. Civic Center Drive, Avondale, AZ 85323.

Once the application is verified and the application fee for the banner has been received, the city will notify the applicant of the approval and create the banner. The applicant will be mailed a notification letter of when and where the banner will be installed honoring the military service member or veteran.

Each cycle of the program is intended to run a minimum of one year; at the end of that cycle, the retired banner may be claimed by the service member or their family.

Space is limited for the first cycle, and the city reserves the right to cap the number of applications. For more information, and to access the application, visit avondaleaz.gov/hometownhero or call 623-333-1600.
