A lot of exciting new eateries are headed for Goodyear, including a brand-new McAlister’s Deli location at West McDowell Road and North Palm Valley Boulevard. The restaurant is part of a brand new construction developed by Capital Growth Buchalter and is slated to reach completion by the end of 2022.
This McAlister’s Deli will feature a pick-up window, plus digital ordering and curbside pickup via the McAlister’s Deli app. Guests will also be able to order and dine in the restaurant. This will be the third McAlister’s Deli location in the Valley and the first one owned by Whirld Eats, Inc.
“We’re passionate about making connections in the community and can’t wait to bring McAlister’s to Goodyear. They’re an awesome brand with great food and I’m excited to start working with them,” Whirld Eats owner Panos Joulios tells What Now Phoenix. Joulios also owns and operates more than 30 Jamba locations in the Valley, including the one that will neighbor this upcoming McAlister’s Deli.
“Jamba has a strong presence in the Phoenix market and there is incredible opportunity for McAlister’s Deli to grow in this region. The team at Whirld Concepts and Whirld Eats is leveraging the right real estate development to bring these two brands to Goodyear, and we look forward to marking the opening of these restaurants later this year” says Focus Brands Chief Development Officer Brian Krause.

Editor’s Note: This article has been updated with comments from Focus Brands and local operator Panos Joulios of Whirld Eats, Inc. Contrary to the previous version which stated this McAlister’s Deli would have a dedicated drive-thru, this article has been corrected to reflect that it will have a pick-up window and not a drive-thru.
