Restaurant News: Openings & Closures

Arizona’s restaurant scene is always evolving, and this week brings both exciting new openings and some disappointing closures.

New Openings

• Society Swan – Opening October 15 at Scottsdale Fashion Square. A chic, two story restaurant inspired by New York City’s 1960s socialites.

• Salt and Lime Modern Mexican Grill: Expanding into Arcadia with authentic Mexican flavors.

• Sam Fox Restaurants – Known for favorites like Culinary Dropout, Blanco, and The Henry, his group continues to shape the Arizona dining scene.

Closures

Unfortunately, several well loved spots are closing their doors:

• Shady Park in Tempe (due to noise complaints)

• Phoenix Beer Co.

• The Living Room Wine Café and Lounge

• Scoopwell’s Dough Bar (some locations)

• Thai Cuisine, JT Prime, Chili Kopi, Sake Bomber Sushi & Grill

For many, Shady Park’s closure is the most heartbreaking, as it was a beloved hub for live music and unique dining.

Fry’s Electronics Demolition

A nostalgic chapter in Arizona history is ending as Fry’s Electronics in Phoenix is being demolished. Known for its massive pyramid design and quirky interior, the building has been closed since 2021. The land will soon be repurposed into a new police precinct and fire station, marking the end of an era for longtime Valley residents.

Arizona’s Wealthiest Zip Codes Revealed

The U.S. Census Bureau recently released data ranking the wealthiest zip codes in Maricopa and Pinal Counties. The rankings are based on income, home equity, savings, and population density.
