Spring Has Sprung : Welcome March New Business Coalition Members

We'd like to share a few highlights on our new and renewing members. First, a special thank you to Retail Therapy for joining Local First's Business Coalition and jumping right in to host our Glendale Business Mixer. What a great turnout and a great way to promote and support local businesses! Retail Therapy showcases nearly 200 local vendors and artisans between their three locations - Anthem Outlets, Old Downtown Glendale and Westgate Entertainment Center. At Retail Therapy, you can find unique gifts for yourself and loved ones ranging from custom, handmade journals, candles, jewelry, bath products and so much more. Ever had freeze-dried candy? They have that, too! But wait - there's more! Retail Therapy also hosts regular candle-making workshops and paint nights.

Check out our community events calendar for more information.

Ready to eat after all of that shopping? Head on over to Chic Chef 77, Tempe's first BIPOC, woman-owned bistro and wine bar. Their motto is Pour. Sip. Vibe. and they are here for it! Enjoy mouth-watering bites with your favorite wine or stop by on the weekend for their brunch spread featuring mimosa and sangria flights. Be on the lookout for The Rez, the newest urban pop-up eatery offering Navajo cuisine, whose chef is well known for frying up Navajo tacos and burgers, chilaquiles with blue corn chips, tamales, crepes and some incredible fry bread. And we can't forget about Tucson. MotoSonora Brewing is definitely a place you want to visit to relax and revel in a road-trip-themed oasis while having a beer on par with the best in the world. Wherever possible, they always look to integrate local ingredients into their beers to create flavors found nowhere else.
