PHOENIX — Flower Child announced the opening date of its new location at the PV mixed-use development in Phoenix.
The Arizona-born fast-casual restaurant will be the inaugural tenant at the much-anticipated redevelopment of the former Paradise Valley Mall site when it opens on Sept. 24, Fox Restaurant Concepts announced Tuesday.
The announcement comes 10 years after Flower Child opened its first location in the Valley.
The PV eatery is located at 12640 N. Tatum Blvd. and will be Flower Child’s 34th location nationwide, including restaurants in 11 states.
“We are excited to open our next Flower Child in the Valley as part of the redevelopment of the iconic former Paradise Valley Mall,” Sam Fox, founder of Fox Restaurant Concepts, said in a press release. “This neighborhood has been underserved for quite some time and we’re proud to be a part of bringing life back to the area while growing the brand’s footprint here at home.”
