ello, and welcome back to Business Briefcase. Buckeye has welcomed a new spot to get healthy smoothies, juices and acai bowls. Additionally, the city will see a new project featuring office buildings, a hotel and restaurant that will total about 132,756 square feet.
Robeks opens new location in Buckeye
IN THE BIZ
The destination for creative fresh smoothies, juices and acai bowls, Robeks opened a new location in Buckeye on Dec. 16. Owned and operated by Gregory and Deborah Soyka, the new Robeks store is in the Sundance Town Center, 430 S. Watson Road, just south of I-10. The Buckeye Robeks employs about 20 people and is the fifth location in Arizona. This is the second Robeks for the Soykas, who discovered the valuable health benefits of fresh juices and smoothies when their daughter was diagnosed with an autoimmune disorder more than 15 years ago. Smoothies with their high-quality nutrition, antioxidants and other anti-inflammatory benefits became an important part of improving their daughter’s health, and soon smoothies became the family business.

The Soykas opened their first Robeks in 2008, and their daughter became one of their most ardent ambassadors, working at the store for years. She is now 26, healthy and working as a dental hygienist. “We are thrilled to open Robeks in Buckeye to bring healthy smoothies, juices and acai bowls to this growing community,” Gregory said. “Our family knows first-hand the importance of good nutrition and the value of good health, and we look forward to sharing Robeks’ healthy options with new guests.” The menu includes the strawnana berry smoothie with strawberries, banana, nonfat frozen yogurt and apple juice. The 800 LB Gorilla Smoothie features banana, peanut butter, nonfat frozen yogurt, soy milk, chocolate and 40 grams of whey protein. Tropi-Kale has fresh kale, pineapple, pineapple sherbet, nonfat frozen yogurt and papaya juice and is packed with immunity-boosting vitamin C. In addition to smoothies, juices and bowls, guests can add wellness shots of wheatgrass, lemon ginger or turmeric. Robeks recently added snacks, like avocado and acai almond butter toast. Robeks will celebrate its official grand opening on Saturday, Jan. 15. For the new Buckeye store hours, visit robeks.com and follow Robeks on so(USPS 004-616) is published weekly

The holiday season is the time to reflect BY JEFFREY CAMPOS
Southwest Valley Chamber of Commerce President and Chief Executive Officer

ith only a few weeks left of the year, the holiday season is upon us. I am excited for a time of the year that is full of celebration, food and family time. This is also the time of the year when we reflect on our lives and cherish the year’s worth of memories we’ve created together. I take great pride in the impact our collective efforts have had on this community and in Arizona as a whole. As we reflect on the many wonderful memories we’ve made here at the chamber, it’s important that we also celebrate our recent successes — and there are many. The year 2021 has been extraordinary for us. This year, the Southwest Valley Chamber celebrated renewed growth;

we held our first membership meeting, honoring mayors from Avondale, Goodyear, Litchfield Park and Tolleson. We also held our first Legislative Breakfast, a public forum designed to learn about our Legislators’ key issues and discuss issues that are important to businesses. The golf classic was a day of networking for serious and not-so-serious golfers. Held at Falcon Dunes Golf Course, it offered a much-appreciated day out of the office, full of fun and competition on the links. The importance of the Southwest Valley Chamber’s work — serving as a trusted thought leader, framing important business issues, and producing
actionable ideas — would not be possible without our great board of directors and members, our thoughtful Legislative leaders, and the support and engagement from the Southwest Valley’s outstanding business community. It is especially true during this time of reflection that we recognize, once again, that our strength as an organization, as a community and as a state is found in our ability to work together and collaborate. Thank you for your continued engagement with the Southwest Valley Chamber. We are your chamber. We work for you, the business community. To you and yours, I wish you happy holidays and a prosperous New Year.
