Park West Shopping Center in Peoria to add 5 new eateries

PHOENIX — A Peoria mall announced Wednesday that it will add five new eateries to its list of more than 25 tenants as part of a $4 million renovation.

Park West Shopping Center, near the Loop 101 Agua Fria Freeway and Northern Avenue, said the new dining spots — Hash Kitchen, The Sicilian Butcher, The Sicilian Baker Cannoli Bar & Market, Jalapeno Inferno and Pita Jungle — are coming soon.

Cold Beers and Cheeseburgers opened in the center this year, and Forever 21, Koi Poke, Orange Theory Fitness and Creamistry are also expected to open soon.

“The tenant mix and the revitalization of the center really caught our attention. Any mix this strong was super attractive to us for placing our first West Valley location,” Andre Wadsworth, co-owner of Creamistry Arizona, said in a press release.

“We are thrilled and can’t wait to open our doors.”

Other improvements from the renovation plan include an agave-shaped splash pad in the center’s plaza, misters, greenery along walkways and new signs on the freeway.

The shopping center plans to hold a grand reopening this fall.

“It’s an exciting time for all of us, as the tremendous growth in the West Valley has assisted us in securing some of the best retail and restaurant concepts in the Phoenix market,” Alexis Volen, vice president of asset management at real estate investment firm CIRE Equity, said in a press release.

“We are thrilled see Park West evolve into the premier family-friendly shopping and entertainment destination in the area. Our work does not end here, as we will continue to build upon the foundation which we have achieved thus far.”
