Scottsdale Quarter welcoming new health-conscious restaurant MIXT

PHOENIX — Arizona foodies, rejoice.

The new east wing of Scottsdale Quarter is about to be the home of MIXT, a fast-casual restaurant featuring a plethora of healthy food options and the Valley’s first “salad valet” service, according to a press release.

MIXT’s grand opening will take place on Saturday March 7 from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. on 15125 N. Scottsdale Road.

The first 250 diners will receive a free tote bag to include various discounts from other local businesses and there will also be multiple printmaking workshops available to attendees.

Grand opening patrons will also be contributing to a good cause by participating in Saturday’s event.

All of the day’s proceeds will help support The Joy Bus, a local nonprofit that delivers fresh food to homebound cancer patients in the Valley.

Philanthropy and community impact play a large role in MIXT’s vision as the restaurant is a designated Certified B Corporation, a legal classification for businesses that “balance purpose and profit,” the release states.

MIXT’s new Scottsdale location is one of 16 total, the others residing in California and Texas.
