Business Briefcase ByConnorDziawura
IN THE BIZ
Hello, everyone. Well, it’s that time of year again, and Easter is just around the corner. It’s a great time of year for those who celebrate, and the weather is warming up again. With Easter comes plenty of family time, great food and, how can I forget, fun for the kids. Boy, do I miss those Easter egg hunts as a child. But enough nostalgia; I have quite the column for readers this week. Leading up to the end of March, there are plenty of developments to read about, get involved in and raise your awareness of your local community. New businesses and ribbon cuttings, barbers and physical fitness gymnasiums; we’ve got it all. But I won’t get into it all here. You’ll have to keep reading to get the details. Well, let’s go, shall we? Here’s the news! First, Pathways Assisted Living and Memory Care will hold a ribboncutting ceremony at noon on Friday, March 30. Self-described on its website as “unique,” the assisted living and memory care complex features nine 6,500-square-foot homes surrounding a park-like courtyard. Each home has 10 bedrooms with 280- to 382-squarefoot bathrooms. Living rooms, kitchens and studies are on site for residents, along with round-the-clock care staff
able to assist with the necessary daily activities, as well as afflictions like Alzheimer’s and dementia. Fun activity and dining opportunities are also available for residents. Pathways is located at 4211 N. Pebble Creek Parkway, Goodyear. For more information on Pathways, visit pathwaysaz.com or call 602-633-2300. Then, just a couple weeks later, a new sandwich shop – Sandwich Masterz – will also be welcomed to the community with a ribbon-cutting ceremony. The event will be held from 2 to 3 p.m. Thursday, April 12. The shop will have sample sandwiches for guests to try. Sandwich Masterz is located at 380 N. Estrella Parkway, Suite A3, Goodyear. For more information on either ribbon-cutting event, contact the Southwest Valley Chamber of Commerce at info@southwestvalleychamber.org or 623-932-2260. Moving on – and in case you haven’t heard – the Southwest Valley Business/Education Coalition will hold a networking breakfast from 7:30 to 9 a.m. Wednesday, April 4, at Dick’s Sporting Goods Distribution Center, 4651 N. Cotton Lane, Litchfield Park. The group is aimed at merging the business and education communities. According to Buckeye Union High School District CTE Director Michael Neu, the thrice-yearly event features (USPS 004-616) is published weekly

The group often does giveaways, and this one will have a 55-inch television available. For more information, contact Neu at MNeu@buhsd.org. Next, Planet Fitness will open its first location in Goodyear in April. The new 15,000-square-foot facility will be at 515 S. Cotton Lane, next to PetSmart. The gym, which is branded as a Judgement Free Zone, will be open 24/7. The Goodyear location will contain state-of-the-art cardio machines and strength equipment, the 30-Minute Express Circuit, flat screen televisions, tanning beds, locker rooms with showers, and other amenities, some of which are exclusive to the $21.99 monthly PF Black Card membership. New members looking to join can sign up online for $1 down and $10 per month through April 13. For more information about membership benefits and the gym, visit planetfitness.com.

Bright Now! provides dental care for those in need ByLynetteCarrington Many people in the United States do not have access to affordable dental care, and nearly 50 percent lack it completely. Bright Now! Dental of Avondale recently partnered with Smiles for Everyone Foundation to provide free exams and X-rays, plus oral cancer screenings, cleanings, fluoride treatments, sealants, fillings and extractions. These services were offered to 50 low-income and under-insured residents at the Bright Now! Dental office. With Bright Now! Dental since December 2017, Dr. Lamiaa Dang volunteered her skills during the charitable event. “We had four dentists and four hygienists that day,” explained Dang, who is based in Phoenix. “If there was work we could do that day, like an extraction, we did that. If it was something more complex, like a surgical extraction, we referred a patient to an oral surgeon and gave them the correct medication.” The Smiles for Everyone Foundation’s mission is to provide free dental

The shop has a barber who can do designs, fades or tapers in hair. They also offer hot lather shaves with straight razors and hot towels. Regular haircuts cost $18 all week, while military personnel can get $15 cuts. The business also has a special station for individuals with handicaps or wheelchairs. Those haircuts also cost $15 all week. On Tuesdays, special $12 kids’ cuts are offered, though they normally cost $16. On Wednesdays, Nippers Clippers gives extra discounts to active and past military personnel, with their cuts costing $13. It also costs $6 for World War
