IN THE BIZ
Hello, everyone, and welcome back to Business Briefcase. In this week’s issue, there’s plenty to discuss, starting with meetings, meetings and more meetings! Whether it is luncheons or chamber field trips, there is an exciting round-up of events, news and info coming your way from all across the West Valley. And while networking is important and essential, that’s not all Business Briefcase is about. But you already know that! Equally important, new jobs are approaching, with new businesses and manufacturing facilities projected to open in Buckeye, Goodyear and Avondale over the coming weeks and months. But we’ll hash out the details as you move forward through this round-up. Allow me to ramble no more; here’s the news! First, news of a new Cardinal Glass manufacturing facility and grand opening ceremony was reported in the September 6 issue of West Valley View. While this facility is nearing completion and some minor construction remains, the September 21 grand opening ceremony will be private. While the event honoring the upcoming facility is approaching fast, the exact date of completion is still to be determined, with operation expected to commence in the coming weeks. Cardinal Glass’ new facility is located at Southern and Apache in Buckeye. Looking to get fit? Well, if you’re in Goodyear, your situation is in good shape. Planet Fitness is opening a location at Canyon Trails Towne Center, 515 S. Cotton Lane, Goodyear, announced on September 12. Phoenix-based commercial real estate services firm NAI Horizon negotiated the long-term lease, which totaled $1.7 million.
Cliff Johnston of Cushman & Wakefield represented the new landlord, TPP 211, Canyon Trails LLC. Planet Fitness is hoping to open the 17,876-square-foot location before 2018. The Peoria Chamber of Commerce and Southwest Valley Chamber of Commerce will hold Dos Amigo’s Holiday Showcase, a joint chamber mixer, from 4 to 8 p.m. Thursday, September 28. The mixer will be held at Dave & Buster’s, 9460 W. Hanna Lane, Glendale. The event, exclusively for chamber members, will allow attendees to bring guests. The mixer will feature holiday buffets, complimentary power cards and raffle prizes. But don’t wait any longer to decide, as the chambers are requesting guests looking to attend RSVP by September 21. With another new business location approaching, NextCare Urgent Care is holding a ribbon-cutting ceremony from noon to 1 p.m. Friday, September 29, at 17688 W. Elliot Road, Goodyear. This new center comes in addition to NextCare’s plethora of other locations, which span 10 states from the Southwest to the East Coast. West Valley Women will hold its Woman of the Year Luncheon from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. Tuesday, October 3. This event will be a great networking opportunity for West Valley Women members and nonmembers, the former of whom pay $30 to enter and the latter of whom pay $35. Entry is $65 if you bring a guest. West Valley Women will also award its 2017 Woman of the Year Award to Pendergast Elementary School District Superintendent Dr. Lily Matos DeBlieux. Preregistration is required. The luncheon will be held at Arizona Broadway Theatre, 7701 W. Paradise Lane, Peoria. For more (USPS 004-616) is published weekly

information, visit westvalleywomen.org or call 602-573-7496. In March, the West Valley View reported on the planned launch of a new Vitamin Shoppe distribution center in Avondale. Now with fall rapidly approaching, the time has finally come for the facility to open. Although it is planning a private grand opening ceremony and ribbon-cutting, the new 187,000-square-foot distribution center for the nutritional specialty retailer and manufacturer, located at 925 N. 127th Avenue, Avondale, plans to employ 140 people. Look for more information on the new facility in the coming weeks. To round out this week’s briefcase, a special take on a weekly event is approaching. The Southwest Valley Chamber of Commerce holds Networking at Noon at – you guessed it! – 12 p.m. Wednesdays. While this event typically meets at Haymaker Restaurant Co. in Goodyear (for which a chamber menu is provided), October 4 will see a special event, as the networking activity will hold a field trip to Main Event, located at 10315 W. McDowell Road, Avondale. While the weekly Networking at Noon is open to anyone for two visits, they must become a chamber member to continue attending beyond that. If you can’t make it to this field trip, however, feel free to attend a regular session of Networking at Noon any other week. For more information, visit southwestvalleychamber.org.

Compounding pharmacy makes treatment personal ByConnorDziawura Under NewSpring Pharmacy’s logo is one simple phrase: “Where Wellness Matters.” Giving patients the best medical experience possible has been the Avondale compounding pharmacy’s goal since 2013. CEO and pharmacist Dr. Lucas Nyabero said the tagline perfectly encapsulates his business. “Compounding gave me a chance encourage wellness; customize something for patients; get something unique that patients will call their own; and do something that makes a difference,” he said. “I’m not interested in giving you the pill. I’m interested in wellness. Wellness is very important to me.” Combining ingredients and customizing dosages was common practice in the health care industry. But the trend of compounding medication changed as the industry shifted toward mass production, Nyabero said. “We commercialized it to where we have a pill that’s 500 mg for everybody,” he explained. “Not everybody needs 500 mg. Everybody is different.” With this practice again on the rise, NewSpring aims to combat mass production. NewSpring customizes medication, based on conversations with patients and their doctors, for a variety of ailments, including pain management, wound care, scar therapy and oncology. This personalization comes in many ways: altering dosages, interchanging ingredients or combining medication to reduce the number of pills taken. The method through which the medication is administered can also be changed. Rather than only prescribing capsules and tablets, NewSpring delivers topical creams,

Notice is hereby given pursuant to City of Avondale Procurement Code Article III, 25-23 that the City of Avondale intends to award a contract
oral and nasal sprays, suppositories and even lollipops. To determine the patients’ best option, NewSpring utilizes pharmacogenetic testing. “Pharmacogenetics is the DNA testing that tells me what medications you can have and what medications you can’t have,” Nyabero explained. “Pharmacogenetic testing is very important in that it takes the study from a study of 10,000 people to a study of one person.” Pharmacogenetic testing is as simple as using a cotton swab on the patient’s cheek, Nyabero said. “It’s a common practice right now for medications,” he added. “You get a chemical, it works very well, you go and do a study – 10,000 people – and then you get a result; 65 percent of people got benefit out of it. “However, what happens to the other 35 to 40 percent? Why didn’t they get benefit from it? Not all studies are 100 percent representative.” Nyabero works closely with patients to build relationships and to get to know their medical history and needs. Nyabero said one patient could not take 500 mg dosages of Tylenol, so he compounded 250 mg tablets that were better suited for her. The pharmacy has also had patients who were allergic to fillers in some capsules. As a solution, NewSpring can custom-produce medications that contain the chemical medication mixed with rice powder. They can even integrate probiotics. NewSpring has specialized lab equipment that allows the staff to guarantee the proper chemical concentration. Nyabero uses outside labs to verify the machines are creating the proper concentration, as well as confirming the beyond use date. “To us, it’s about wellness, and wellness is health, mental, physical, relationships.

So, it’s a full wellness of the person,” Nyabero said. “We are not here to give pills. We are not here to just say, ‘Take this, go home and deal with it.’ We will talk to our patients. We will find out what’s going on. We’ll talk to doctors and the patients.” Going forward, Nyabero would like to serve more pets through the pharmacy’s veterinary services. As with humans, NewSpring can determine the best delivery method, flavor and strength of a medication to be given to a pet. They can also avoid grains or promote organic products when necessary. In addition to boosting the pharmacy’s pet care services, Nyabero hopes to launch a diabetes center and open additional locations. However, there is one obstacle to face with expansion. “Expansion is good as long as we can replicate care,” he said. Nyabero is adamant about the need to promote and raise awareness of pharmacogenetic testing and pharmacy compounding because awareness is still a challenge. “Now, patients who understand that this is available for them are able to come in for it,” Nyabero said. “We don’t have the deep pockets to market really well for people to understand. This is literally customization of care. This is customization of your medications. You are getting your own medication that is specifically for you, that works for you. That is the difference between compounding and the regular stuff.” NewSpring Pharmacy 10750 W.
