Business Briefcase

ByConnorDziawura

IN THE BIZ

Hello, everyone, and welcome back to Business Briefcase. In this week’s issue, there’s plenty to discuss, starting with meetings, meetings and more meetings! Whether it is luncheons or chamber field trips, there is an exciting round-up of events, news and info coming your way from all across the West Valley. And while networking is important and essential, that’s not all Business Briefcase is about. But you already know that! Equally important, new jobs are approaching, with new businesses and manufacturing facilities projected to open in Buckeye, Goodyear and Avondale over the coming weeks and months. But we’ll hash out the details as you move forward through this round-up. Allow me to ramble no more; here’s the news! First, news of a new Cardinal Glass manufacturing facility and grand opening ceremony was reported in the September 6 issue of West Valley View. While this facility is nearing completion and some minor construction remains, the September 21 grand opening ceremony will be private. While the event honoring the upcoming facility is approaching fast, the exact date of completion is still to be determined, with operation expected to commence in the coming weeks. Cardinal Glass’ new facility is located at Southern and Apache in Buckeye. Looking to get fit? Well, if you’re in Goodyear, your situation is in good shape. Planet Fitness is opening a location at Canyon Trails Towne Center, 515 S. Cotton Lane, Goodyear, announced on September 12. Phoenix-based commercial real estate services firm NAI Horizon negotiated the long-term lease, which totaled $1.7 million.

Cliff Johnston of Cushman & Wakefield represented the new landlord, TPP 211, Canyon Trails LLC. Planet Fitness is hoping to open the 17,876-square-foot location before 2018. The Peoria Chamber of Commerce and Southwest Valley Chamber of Commerce will hold Dos Amigo’s Holiday Showcase, a joint chamber mixer, from 4 to 8 p.m. Thursday, September 28. The mixer will be held at Dave & Buster’s, 9460 W. Hanna Lane, Glendale. The event, exclusively for chamber members, will allow attendees to bring guests. The mixer will feature holiday buffets, complimentary power cards and raffle prizes. But don’t wait any longer to decide, as the chambers are requesting guests looking to attend RSVP by September 21. With another new business location approaching, NextCare Urgent Care is holding a ribbon-cutting ceremony from noon to 1 p.m. Friday, September 29, at 17688 W. Elliot Road, Goodyear. This new center comes in addition to NextCare’s plethora of other locations, which span 10 states from the Southwest to the East Coast. West Valley Women will hold its Woman of the Year Luncheon from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. Tuesday, October 3. This event will be a great networking opportunity for West Valley Women members and nonmembers, the former of whom pay $30 to enter and the latter of whom pay $35. Entry is $65 if you bring a guest. West Valley Women will also award its 2017 Woman of the Year Award to Pendergast Elementary School District Superintendent Dr. Lily Matos DeBlieux. Preregistration is required. The luncheon will be held at Arizona Broadway Theatre, 7701 W. Paradise Lane, Peoria. For more (USPS 004-616) is published weekly

information, visit westvalleywomen.org or call 602-573-7496. In March, the West Valley View reported on the planned launch of a new Vitamin Shoppe distribution center in Avondale. Now with fall rapidly approaching, the time has finally come for the facility to open. Although it is planning a private grand opening ceremony and ribbon-cutting, the new 187,000-square-foot distribution center for the nutritional specialty retailer and manufacturer, located at 925 N. 127th Avenue, Avondale, plans to employ 140 people. Look for more information on the new facility in the coming weeks. To round out this week’s briefcase, a special take on a weekly event is approaching. The Southwest Valley Chamber of Commerce holds Networking at Noon at – you guessed it! – 12 p.m. Wednesdays. While this event typically meets at Haymaker Restaurant Co. in Goodyear (for which a chamber menu is provided), October 4 will see a special event, as the networking activity will hold a field trip to Main Event, located at 10315 W. McDowell Road, Avondale. While the weekly Networking at Noon is open to anyone for two visits, they must become a chamber member to continue attending beyond that. If you can’t make it to this field trip, however, feel free to attend a regular session of Networking at Noon any other week. For more information, visit southwestvalleychamber.org. That’s all the briefs for this week. Thanks for reading! Have an item for Business Briefcase? Email Connor Dziawura at cdziawura@ timespublications.com.
