Business Briefcase ByConnorDziawura
IN THE BIZ
Hello, everyone, and welcome back to Business Briefcase! This week I’m bringing a special holiday-themed edition of Business Briefcase. Many of us West Valley residents anticipate spending quality time with our loved ones. But this never gets in the way of work and business. Starting off this week, I have a development that has been a long time coming and is likely to please many gun enthusiasts. But that’s just the first. I also have plenty of holiday luncheons and celebrations that will be great for networking and promoting your art or business. You’ll have to read on to get all the great details. Here’s the news! First, I’ll start with a big one! Gen. Joe Foss Shooting Complex in Buckeye reopened. The next opportunities West Valley gun enthusiasts will have to attend and practice at the range will be from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturdays December 9 and December 16, and Sundays December 10 and December 17. The range closed in June because the Maricopa County Parks and Recreation Department had trouble finding a new manager for it. For the time being, the Arizona State Rifle and Pistol Association has entered into a special-use permit to manage the facility, although talks are still in negotiations for longterm plans. Next, Dickey’s Barbecue Pit opened a location in Avondale November 16.

The popular franchise has shown continued growth, with this being its seventh Arizona location. To celebrate this new location, Dickey’s is having grand opening specials and giveaways. The first of these, Thirsty Thursdays, provides guests with a free refillable cup for the day. A day later, on Philanthropy Fridays, gifts cards will be given to those who donate to the Barbecue, Boots & Badges charity, and uniformed first responders will receive 50 percent discounts. Then, on Smokin’ Saturdays, pulled pork sandwiches will be offered at $2. Finally, kids eat free on Sundays with any adult purchase of at least $10. The new Dickey’s location is at 10005 W. McDowell Road. The city of Goodyear began its annual Shop Goodyear program earlier this (USPS 004-616) is published weekly
