Maricopa Station stores opening soon

The shops within the new Maricopa Station will begin opening this month.

Starbucks plans to open at the site the week of April 27, according to a company spokesperson. The new building is at 21423 N. John Wayne Parkway next to CVS.

“Starbucks is always looking for great locations to better meet the needs of our customers,” Haley Nieman said. “Choosing a site for a new Starbucks location is a key element in providing customers with the Starbucks experience, and we carefully consider many factors when opening a new store.”

On the north end of Maricopa Station, Starbucks has a 2,000-square-foot café and a drive-thru. The store will employ 30 people.

Meanwhile, the licensed Starbucks location inside Bashas’ across the street re-opened March 28 after being closed for renovation in the supermarket, she said.

Next door to Starbucks in Maricopa Station is Zoyo Neighborhood Yogurt. The company has not provided an opening date but expects it to be this spring. The location already has its own web page with updates.

Behind the banners of “Burritofication in Progress,” a Chipotle Mexican Grill is being prepared for opening in the summer, according to a company spokesman. It is on the south end of the building.
