Business Briefcase
ByConnorDziawura
IN THE BIZ
Hello, everyone, and welcome back to Business Briefcase. This week we have wonderful new items to get excited about approaching this October, beginning with a possible new IKEA! West Valley folks may not have to drive to Tempe come 2020 to get their goodies. Also in the news, there are great discounts and deals at newly opening stores. But don’t worry! As usual, we have to spruce it up a bit with some good ol’ fun! Now with just under five weeks left until Halloween, another great West Valley fair is coming your way, this time in Litchfield Park! Keep reading for all the details. Here’s the news! IKEA announced on September 21 that the Swedish company is looking to open a Glendale location, the company’s second store in the state. The other one, IKEA Tempe, opened in 2004. If approved by the city of Glendale, the proposed 348,000-square-foot IKEA Glendale is looking to begin construction in Fall 2018, with a planned launch of Spring 2020. IKEA will generate more than 500 jobs during the construction process, with 300 new workers expected to begin upon its 2020 opening. The new location would be located at the southeast corner of Loop 101/Agua Fria Freeway and Bethany Home Road. We’ve been reporting about the new Vitamin Shoppe distribution center in recent issues of West Valley View.
Well, it has been slowly ramping up operations and increasing hiring over the past two months. Its official ribbon-cutting ceremony was September 20. For more information about the recent celebration for the new distribution center, located at 925 N. 127th Avenue in Avondale, see the story in this section. Danby Factory Outlet Store is holding a grand opening and ribbon-cutting ceremony at its new retail outlet, located at 10397 W. Van Buren Street, Tolleson, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, October 7. The ribbon cutting will begin at 10:30 a.m. If you’re not familiar with Danby, the company began as a family-run business more than 65 years ago. Specializing in a variety of household appliances and essentials, Danby will offer a 20-percent discount on its goods during this four-hour event. Danby’s products and appliances range from microwaves to refrigerators and air conditioners. On Thursday, October 26, Homeless Youth Connection will host its free Empowering Youth Breakfast.

Vitamin Shoppe’s Avondale distribution center opens ByConnorDziawura Vitamin Shoppe runs on three ideas: “inspire, nourish and thrive every day,” according to CEO Colin Watts. Celebrating its 40th anniversary, Vitamin Shoppe is continuing to emphasize those concepts with the launch of an Avondale distribution center. The New Jersey-based company hosted a grand opening and ribbon-cutting ceremony on Wednesday, September 20. “It was a very unique idea back in the day; this idea of a retailer that did nothing but focus on supplements and products to help people be healthy,” Watts said. “A lot of people in this world go to doctors, go to nurses – I do, too – when I’m sick…But there are very few places, actually, that you can go to when you are healthy to stay healthier, and when you want to do a little bit better for yourself, a place that can help you to do a little bit better for yourself.” The omni-channel specialty retailer, however, fills that gap in the market. By selling vitamins, multivitamins and supplements such as whey protein and creatine, Vitamin Shoppe allows customers to maintain their health and boost their fitness regimen whether they shop online or brick and mortar. The company has more than 700 stores

AVONDALE City Of Avondale Public Notice IN ACCORDANCE WITH ORDINANCE # 316, SECTION 3, pertaining to liquor license applications and Publication of Notice, notice is hereby given that the Avondale City Council has received for approval an application for a liquor license within the corporate limits of Avondale, Arizona from: Sargon
in 45 states, with 12 in Arizona. While having just celebrated its opening, Avondale’s new climate-controlled, 187,000-square-foot distribution center, located on West Van Buren Street and North 127th Avenue, has been slowly ramping operations for the past several months. Having chosen Arizona as the best place to serve the West Coast, the new facility services Southern and Northern California, Dallas – Fort Worth, the Pacific Northwest, and Hawaii and China, according to process manager Matthew Ryan. “We’ve been operating now for about two months,” Ryan said. “It started slowly with just shipments coming in, getting stuff on the shelves, a lot of inbound activity. Kind of all our activity was focused on getting stuff on the shelves and all that.” Once the plant is fully operational, Ryan estimates Vitamin Shoppe will employ upward of 80 to 90 employees during the weekday shifts and 40 to 50 from Friday through Sunday. Jobs at Vitamin Shoppe’s distribution center, however, don’t necessarily require prior experience in that industry. “We’re definitely willing to train anybody who wants to come in and learn and has that positive work ethic,” Ryan said. “If they’ve got experience, even better.”

With the support of the local community, Vitamin Shoppe could bring operations to the West Valley. “The City of Avondale has been awesome. The police department; the fire department; the city planning department. It’s been great,” said Jeremy Smith, the new facility’s general manager. “Also thank you to the engineers, the construction team, the ownership and the management team. It’s just been seamless throughout; really helping us get this building ready to go. So, thank you to them.” While the process began with the goal of serving the West Coast, Avondale was ultimately chosen as the best possible location for such an operation. “This was a germ of an idea a couple years ago,” Watts said. “We looked across the country. We could have chosen a lot of different markets...we decided on Avondale because we heard there were great, great people in this community. We knew that there was an amazing, amazing council and government here to work with us, and they’ve been, honestly, nothing but amazing to work with.”
