Business Briefcase
ByConnorDziawura
IN THE BIZ
Hello, readers, and thanks for stopping by for another ‘rousing edition of Business Briefcase. There’s not much to start with this time around, so I’m going to jump right into it. I was asked about a potential new restaurant in Litchfield Park just before the conclusion of 2017, and I just now finally have confirmation. Aside from some other chamber and networking events, I’ll also mention the highly requested WinCo Foods, slated for Goodyear. But don’t get your hopes up – there’s still going to be some waiting for details on this front. Here’s the news! First, as I mentioned, I have a new development; and a long-awaited one at that! I received an inquiry last December regarding the old Blue Sushi in Litchfield Park, as the reader was wondering what changes the space was undergoing. Well – my mouth is watering and I haven’t even told you yet – Papa Paul’s Brick Oven Pizza & Pasta is open in Litchfield Park, at the aforementioned location. Councilman Peter Mahoney owns the joint, which has an absolutely hunger-inducing menu. One quick glance at the list reveals starters that range from classic bruschetta to goat cheese-stuffed peach or eggplant caprese. For salads you can go as simple as Caesar (not that simple’s
a bad thing) or as extravagant as blackened salmon and roasted veggie. And don’t even get me started on all the pizzas. But when all’s said and done, you can finish your meal off with a delicious dessert like raspberry panna cotta or tiramisu, just to mention a couple options. Beers, wines and cocktails are also on deck! Located at 118 N. Old Litchfield Road, Papa Paul’s is open 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Sundays through Thursdays, and 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays. For more info, including a more in-depth menu, visit facebook.com/ papapaulslitchfieldpark. On the subject of long-awaited developments – and what you’ve probably been waiting for since I mentioned it at the top of the column – I have received quite a few inquiries about the planned WinCo Foods in Goodyear, so I’ll get that out of the way. Unfortunately, calls and emails to WinCo’s representatives over the months have yielded no results, as representatives have not responded to West Valley View’s requests for comment. So, I have also checked in with the city’s Economic Development (USPS 004-616) is published weekly

Department on numerous occasions and am still awaiting final plan approval before I can give firm details. Until that happens, I have no further information to divulge on the WinCo or other proposed businesses at the southwest corner of McDowell Road and Pebble Creek Parkway. Moving along, there will be a free vendor expo in Avondale. From 5 to 7 p.m. Thursday, July 26, stop by Main Event Entertainment, 10315 W. McDowell Road.

Local business owners will have tables to showcase products or services, while door prizes and drawings will be available. It’s OK to bring kids, too, as Main Event has plenty of entertaining activities (though they’re not included

Beyond Gymnastics opens in Goodyear ByCarrieSnider When Briana Porzelt and Tom Gerlach considered opening a gymnastics center in the West Valley, they never imagined the response they would receive. With experience in early childhood education and gymnastics coaching, Porzelt decided to offer classes at the her community clubhouse. Soon she had a long list of students, and even people from outside the housing community were hoping to be involved. That’s when she partnered with Gerlach, who owns a handyman business. The two put their heads together and opened Beyond Gymnastics, 3810 S. Estrella Parkway, Suite 309, Goodyear, on June 1. Eighty students have enrolled, and they are looking for additional coaches. “We didn’t realize there was that much of a need here,” Prozelt said. “It certainly helps being in this business park, next to Taste of Italy.” Beyond Gymnastics is hosting a grand opening event from 2 to 6 p.m. Saturday, July 21. A sleepover/parents night out follows on Saturday, July 28. Call 623-734-0178 or visit beyondgymnasticsaz.com for more information. Beyond Gymnastics is enrolling students from 6 months old to adults. The gym offers summer camp, tumbling, adult stretching, show teams, clinics, individual lessons, birthday parties, teen classes, adult stretching and open gym. Owners and instructors are USAG certi-

To round this week out, I’m going to jump ahead to another event. DexYP’s yearlong marketing series will continue with a course on Creating an Effective Marketing Plan at noon

fied and focus on teaching proper form safely. “I like seeing that light click when a student learns something new,” Porzelt explained. “They develop their own independence.” To the owners, gymnastics is a way for people to have fun, as well as learn some good life skills. “I help them learn structure, how to take turns, follow rules,” she said. Porzelt also wants to make sure students are always moving, so she formats classes, so students can utilize the gym as much as possible.
The gym will have a show team; so far they don’t have a competitive team, but hopefully it can add that as the gym grows. Gerlach was excited to build out the new gym and take care of the construction that goes into it. But after seeing his daughter participate in classes, and learning gymnastics moves, he has come to love that side of the business. Porzelt and Gerlach also want to be an integral part of the Goodyear community, so they are participating in local events and offering fun activities beyond the typical gymnastics classes.
Thursday, August 16. Previous DexYP sessions have covered topics such as Better Communication, Text & Email Marketing, and Effective Websites, just to name a few. Though this event is free, seating is limited, so be sure to RSVP. DexYP will host lunch in partnership with the Southwest Valley Chamber of Commerce.
This event will be located at the chamber, 289 N. Litchfield Road, Goodyear. For more information, contact info@southwestvalleychamber. org or 623-932-2260. That’s all the briefs for this week! Thanks for reading, and stick around for more news next week! Have an item for Business Briefcase? Email Connor Dziawura at cdziawura@timespublications.com.
