Hello, everyone, and welcome back to Business Briefcase! Although you’re likely to have read the biggest news of the week – Chewy Inc. and the city of Goodyear’s partnership to provide 700 jobs to Valley residents – on the cover of this issue, the news goes well beyond that in Business Briefcase. Let’s cut to the chase, shall we? This week, I have a host of information for you. As usual, there is much to discuss, and I am going to get straight to the point, beginning with Avondale’s first El Pollo Loco! Beyond this development, though, there is plenty more to discuss. I have great events ranging from networking potential at the Buckeye Valley Chamber of Commerce all the way to things like the 2018 West Valley State of the State Luncheon, where Gov. Doug Ducey will make his presence known and answer questions. But to find out all the details, surely you’ll have to continue reading. So here it is, this week’s news! First, El Pollo Loco opened an Avondale location Friday, December 11. This is the 25th Valley location for the popular fire-grilled chicken chain. At 2,995 square feet, the restaurant’s new location can seat up to 70 patrons, and on top of that, El Pollo Loco is putting forth its new “Vision Design,” which the company describes as highlighting “an authentic, Mexican-inspired atmosphere.” Its “menu and brand identity”

will also be promoted. Warm textures and rustic elements, as well as an openlayout kitchen are highlights at the El Pollo Loco, 10135 W. McDowell Road. Stop by from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily to place your order. After a brief holiday hiatus, Buckeye Business Connection is returning on Tuesday, January 9. From 7:15 to 8:30 a.m. weekly, stop by the Buckeye Valley Chamber of Commerce at 508 E. Monroe Avenue in downtown Buckeye. The approaching meetings are scheduled for January 9, January 23 and January 30. (USPS 004-616) is published weekly
