Business Briefcase
By Connor Dziawura
IN THE BIZ
Hello, readers! It looks like this week should be a good one, as I have several developments in Buckeye, the first of which should create quite a few new jobs. But beyond the large-scale news items, local, family-owned shops and other small businesses are booming, too. Among those is a recently rebranded hardware store in Buckeye, a new realty office in Litchfield Park, and a bakery coming to Goodyear. And that’s just a start. Keep on reading for more briefs and details. Here’s the news! First, APS plans to develop a substation and service center on an 83-acre parcel at SR-85 and MC-85, according to a statement the utility provider offered to the West Valley View. Plans and timelines have yet to be determined. The number of employees that will be hired has not yet been estimated. The company hopes to have more information by the year’s end, according to the statement. Then, Williams-based aircraft maintenance, avionics and aircraft management company Performance Air Group expanded to Buckeye Airport, 3000 S. Palo Verde Road, in September. The company received its first turbine-powered customer, Southwest Specialty Foods King Air 90, at the tail end of the month. Though it is open, more plans are in store, including Jet A fuel service, a pilot lounge, a flight school, helicopter maintenance and air-
craft sales. “Buckeye is the perfect place for our business,” said Valerie Thomas, who co-owns the company with her husband Chad. “We feel with the amount of growth Buckeye and the West Valley are currently experiencing, the Buckeye Airport will provide us with the opportunity to become a full-service fixed-based operator.” For more information on the company, visit performanceairgroup.com. For more information on the airport, visit buckeyeaz.gov/airport. For a full-length story about Performance Air Group’s expansion to Buckeye, stay tuned to the West Valley View. Still on the subject of Buckeye, Hometown Williams-based Performance Air Group recently expanded to Goodyear Airport.

Castle Rock Homes to build Lego house in one day By Adrian Marsh
After retiring from the Air Force, Rod Fetters and his brother, Gary, decided they wanted to fulfill their dreams of building custom homes. But not just any homes. In 2004, they established Castle Rock Homes, which specializes in the use of insulated concrete forms (ICF) as building blocks for more energy-efficient and sustainable houses. “One thing their military background brings to the table is attention to detail and security,” said Vicki Connell, office manager for the Litchfield Parkbased business. ICF consists of 4-foot-wide by 16-inch-tall building blocks that are stronger and quieter than wood and have an energy efficiency rate of R-40, Connell said. Wood homes have an energy efficiency rate of R-19. The greater the R value, the greater the resistance to heat flow. This month, at a date to be determined, Castle Rock Homes will take custom home building to a new level in hopes of benefiting the Arizona Special Olympics – Palo Verde with a fun, engaging project. They will attempt to build the struc-

Litchfield Road, Suite 102, Litchfield Park, near the southwest corner of Camelback and Litchfield roads. The previous location opened in Avondale in 2010. Full House Realty of AZ is a full-service real estate office that handles residential, rentals, land and property management. Free no-obligation comparative market analyses are being offered. For more information, call 623-229-4588. Nearby, Christian Brothers Automotive’s Litchfield Park location will have a special needs service day from 8 a.m. to noon Saturday, October 13. Christian Brothers Automotive is located at 12337 W. Camelback Road, near
ture of a home in one day using ICF blocks that will be painted in various colors to look like Lego. The “Lego home” will be built in Litchfield Park and is the first time they have done something of this nature. “We are excited about the Lego-like project,” Rod said. “Everyone loves Lego, kids and adults, and most everyone loves seeing things being built.” The project will be videotaped and put on their YouTube channel, and all the earnings from the video will be donated to the Special Olympics. ICF homes take around six to seven months to build from groundbreaking to finish, according to Gary, and Castle Rock Homes has accomplished building up to eight homes per year. Rod said they built three custom homes their first year. Once finished, the home’s price will be about $700,000, Gary said. He added pricing depends on size and location, but ICF homes typically cost 5 to 7 percent more than wood homes due to their sustainability. Concrete homes have been standing for more than 250 years in other countries, Rod added. In comparison, he said a traditional American wood-built the southwest corner of Camelback and El Mirage roads. The company will provide complementary oil changes and basic inspections focused on safety items like tires and brakes. It will also top off fluids. Aside from services, Christian Brothers Automotive will have opportunities for snacks, kids’ face painting, car washes and more. For special needs families interested in receiving service, contact Yesenia Crothers at sensen.garcia@gmail.com. For churches, businesses or civic groups interested in helping, contact co-owner Lisa Hassenger at lisa.hassenger@cbauto.net or 623-234-9163. For more information, visit cbaclpserviceday.com. Over in Goodyear, T&T Bakery and Sandwiches is in the works. I have yet to find more in-depth information on the timeline, though ongoing construction is still visible through its window.

home usually stands up to 80 years. Rod said his favorite part of the job is turning the keys over to a customer and seeing the excitement of him or her moving into the new home and beginning a new chapter of life. “Castle Rock Homes projects steady growth in the West Valley in the years to come,” he said. “And a major goal of our team is to give our success back to the community, especially through military and special programs.” Its location is 560 N. Estrella Parkway, Suite B13, near the northwest corner of Estrella Parkway and Van Buren Street. Finally, DexYP’s monthly marketing series will return from noon to 1:30 p.m. Thursday, October 18, with a focus on Branding for Small Business. It will be held at the Southwest Valley Chamber of Commerce, 289 N. Litchfield Road, Goodyear. Though its free to attend, lunch is hosted by DexYP in partnership with the chamber, so reservations must be made in advance. For more information, contact 623-932-2260 or info@ southwestvalleychamber.org. That’s all the briefs for this week! Stay tuned, though, because there’s plenty more down the road. Thanks for reading!
