According to the Westy’s Organic Kitchen & Juice website, “It’s been a long time coming! After operating out of a commercial kitchen for 18 months, and roughly 2 years by the time we open up the doors… Operating out of our very own space will be a dream! There’s so much more to come from our team as we dial in a new and expanded menu. Our offerings will include all-organic smoothies, acai bowls loaded with superfoods, more salads, baked goods, toasts, coffee, and tea! The location will be near our current pop-up location at 83rd Ave & Lake Pleasant Pkwy near Planet Fitness there, along 83rd Ave. Please continue to support us at our pop-ups, as all sales at this time is fueling us to open on budget and on time!”
Other menu items include juices, which are unpasteurized, never heated, non-HPP, cold-pressed, and locally crafted by their team using locally grown organic produce, as well as salads that are organic and non-GMO.
“We are aiming for late Nov for a soft launch to dial in a larger menu, so our grand opening won’t be til Mid Jan of 2024 or so I would guess at this stage. We have pop ups right now near the location on Tuesdays and Fridays 8-11:30 am and lots of our regulars and tribe know to find us there!,” owner Thanou Thammavongsa shared with What Now Phoenix.
Self-described as Peoria AZ’s first all-organic kitchen, Westy’s aspires to be a haven of nourishment, community, and real, honest food. With over a decade of experience designing and consulting for local businesses and non-profit organizations, the business started from a crowdfunding effort in 2021 and nurtured by a couple with a passion for food and commitment to supporting the community. All branding and marketing are done in-house, a testament to their dedication and a cost-saving measure that enables Westy’s to invest more in providing top-notch food experiences.
The shop aims to offer something unique and exceptional to the area, making it not just one of the best businesses in the area, but one that genuinely serves and enriches the lives of those who call it home. The goal is to provide access to real, healthy, organic food that sustains and enriches lives by providing simple-to-understand offerings that restore confidence in making food choices. Their vision is to encouraging people to rethink the way they eat, providing guidance on foods that make you feel better and fostering a sense of hope and grace for those times when life gets busy.
