Business Briefcase
ByConnorDziawura
IN THE BIZ
Hello, everyone, and welcome back to Business Briefcase. This week’s lineup is quite a doozy, with everything ranging from the chamber meetings and forums to new large-scale packaging facilities and city developments. But don’t worry; it’s not all work and no play. Continuing the lead-up to Halloween set in motion by previous briefcases, yet another festive West Valley event will get some shine. And while it’s an equally great opportunity for local businesses looking to get out there, this carnival is sure to be equally sweet. Here’s the news! For starters, Goodyear’s Haymaker Restaurant Co. isn’t going anywhere! In the September 6 issue of West Valley View, it was reported that Haymaker Restaurant Co. had been sold. The building the popular eatery leases was recently sold for $1.7 million. This has no effect on Haymaker Restaurant Co., 1800 N. Litchfield Road, Goodyear. As a matter of fact, read all about the restaurant in this section! Next on this week’s agenda: The Southwest Valley Chamber of Commerce will host Business After Hours at Thompson Funeral Chapel from 5 to 7 p.m. Thursday, September 14. This monthly event provides an opportunity for local business owners to come out, mingle and learn about their peers. Attendees can come and go as they please during the two-hour event. Some businesses may also offer door prizes as part of a raffle. Thompson Funeral Chapel is located at 926 S. Litchfield Road, Goodyear. Big changes are coming to the Phoenix Goodyear Airport’s master plan. The City of Phoenix Aviation Department is planning a public meeting from 5 to 8 p.m. Thursday, October 5. The next step in discussing the master plan update, the
meeting will be at the Lux Air Jet Center, Building 110 at Phoenix Goodyear Airport, 1658 S. Litchfield Road, Goodyear. The Phoenix City Council approved the last master plan update in 2007. For more information on the master plan update, visit goodyearairport.com or call 602- 2732058. Ball Corporation recently announced plans to build a packaging facility in Goodyear. The August 30 announcement by the Broomfield, Colorado-based beverage packaging company also included that three other facilities, located in Birmingham, Alabama; Chatsworth, California; and Longview, Texas, will be closed in 2018. This will allow Ball Corporation to put its focus on the new facility, which is expected to begin production in the second quarter of 2018. With the closings and the new building, Ball Corporation is expected to save $50 million in net fixed costs annually from late 2018 onward. Changing focus to another locale in the West Valley, the WOW Economic Forum (Women of the West Valley) will take place at StarshineAZ from 8 to 10 a.m. Thursday, September 28. Registration begins at 7:30 a.m. At this essential forum, WESTMARC President and CEO Sintra Hoffman shares her tips for women business owners looking to grow their local businesses in the West Valley. Entry costs $25, but a continental breakfast will be provided. StarshineAZ is located in Huntington University at 8385 W. Mariners Way, Peoria. For more information, call 855-878-2233. Buckeye also has big plans over the coming months. Approaching quickly, the city’s 77th annual Halloween Carnival will take place from 5 to 9 p.m. Saturday, October 28. The city has applications for vendors on its website that must be submitted by October 13. The event will feature a variety of vendors, and this (USPS 004-616) is published weekly

popular carnival allows local businesses, charities, schools and nonprofits to participate while festivalgoers support their local community. The carnival will feature games, bingo and, of course, food and drinks. The event will be at Earl Edgar Recreation Facility, 500 S. Miller Road, Buckeye. But even sooner than Halloween, the Buckeye Valley Chamber of Commerce will hold a Buckeye Business Connection event from 7:15 to 8:30 a.m. Tuesday, September 19. If you can’t make this meeting, there’s no need to fret! This is a weekly event, taking place every Tuesday, when Buckeye chamber members and nonmembers are invited to participate. At this event, which features coffee and a light breakfast, businesses will get a chance to intermingle and meet their local community. The Buckeye Valley Chamber of Commerce is located at 508 E. Monroe Avenue, Buckeye. And last, but surely not least, the City of Buckeye is planning a Street Improvement District for Roosevelt. The city is looking to install water and sewer lines, new roads and drainage improvements. While the city just recently received authorization from the Flood Control District of Maricopa County, plans for the Street Improvement District are still being finalized, with small details yet to be hammered out over the coming weeks. Should planning continue as scheduled, the city will look to start construction at the turn of the year. The project is estimated to take six or seven months with a cost estimate of $11 million. That’s all the briefs for this week. Thanks for reading! Have an item for Business Briefcase? Email Connor Dziawura at cdziawura@ timespublications.com.

Haymaker Restaurant ‘comforts’ Goodyear residents ByConnorDziawura When the Great Recession struck in the late 2000s, millions of people around world were impacted. This hits close to home for Joe Lucidi, who was looking to get his groove back following his business’ turbulent times from 2008 to 2012. Lucidi now owns and operates Haymaker Restaurant Co. in Goodyear. “I decided to open a restaurant that reminded me a lot of my parents’ restaurants, which served family-oriented comfort food,” Lucidi said. “I took a big detour from 20 years ago and decided to make almost everything from scratch. We use a lot of family recipes. We use a lot of local ingredients. That’s very important to us.” And, thus, Haymaker Restaurant Co. was born. Initially launched in Peoria in 2013, Haymaker expanded to Goodyear and North Phoenix in 2014 and 2015, respectively. The success has continued to grow. The restaurant’s breakfast items range from Benedicts and omelets to Dutch apple cinnamon French toast. The comfort food menu features anything from St. Louis pork ribs to blackened salmon and a country fried steak dinner. “Our traditional comfort foods tend to be our most popular,” Lucidi said. “Our chicken fried steak is probably our top seller. Fish and chips, which we handbatter and make from scratch, are very, very popular items.” Lucidi said he has tried during the last four years to create unique items. One such item is the blackened catfish tacos, which was inspired by Lucidi’s youth in San Diego.

“You still get that great fish taco, but it’s got a little bit of Southern flair to it,” he said. Haymaker serves its full menu all day. Lucidi estimates the practice began last year, with breakfast items now accounting for more than 60 percent of sales. The popular eatery also attracts customers with its Kids Eat Free night on Wednesdays, as well as Burger Night with discounted hamburgers on Thursdays. Haymaker also features a Burger of the Month. “We change our burger every month to try to get something fun and funky in there,” he explained. Alcohol is a sweet spot for the restaurant. It partners with Peoria-based distillery Lucidi Distilling Co., which is owned by Joe’s brother, Chris. The distilling company operates out of Peoria’s original fire station, even keeping the name and logo intact. Specializing in vodka, gin, whiskey and rum, Lucidi Distilling Co. and Haymaker Restaurant Co. plan to partner for an original Haymaker label liquor. They are working on flavored moonshine. “I sell his stuff, not only because he’s my brother, but because it’s darn good,” said Lucidi. Haymaker’s happy hour from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily features $2 domestic and drafts; $3 well drinks and house wines; and $4 craft drafts, Lucidi distilling spirits, and Jack and Jim. In addition to adult beverages, Haymaker runs $5 and $6 appetizer specials during the daily slot. In addition to the locations in Peoria and Phoenix, the latter of which was converted to a sports bar this past summer, two more locations are planned. One may be an addition to the Haymaker Restaurant Co.

name, whereas the second could be a new quick-serve barbecue concept. “I’m a big barbecue guy,” Lucidi explained. “I make my own sauce and I’m getting ready to dabble in that as well.” Although food is important, getting involved in the community is what it’s all about for Haymaker. The restaurant offers 20 percent discounts to military personnel, current or former, a subject which is important to Lucidi. “I was raised by a Marine who came from a family of Marines, and I couldn’t be prouder to support our military,” Lucidi said. “They mean so much to me and so much to our country, and I’m so happy to see the rest of the country finally giving them the support that they deserve.” Outside of working with Luke Air Force Base, which led to Lucidi being named an honorary commander last year, Haymaker puts much of its effort into aiding the local community through its kids, which Lucidi breaks down to its core areas – schools and churches. “Those four groups are where we spend probably 90 to 95 percent of our time and our money on donating and different deals,” he said of the military, kids, schools and churches. “Not to say we wouldn’t donate toward another group; we just know that those four areas are near and dear to our hearts. I have four kids, I came from a big family, I’m a big part of our church community, and I want to make sure that our dollars go and help them grow.” Haymaker Restaurant Co. 1800 N.
