Goodyear's downtown scene just leveled up with the opening of First Watch, an acclaimed breakfast and brunch spot. The chain is known for dishing out freshly prepared favorites like indulgent avocado toast and lemon ricotta pancakes, alongside a cup of freshly brewed coffee. Now, locals and visitors alike can enjoy these delights at GSQ in downtown Goodyear, according to the City of Goodyear.
With its door now open, First Watch joins the burgeoning list of eateries that have flocked to the area. Mayor Joe Pizzillo of Goodyear praised the opening, saying, "First Watch is another great addition to GSQ and a dining option our residents have been asking for." It seems residents have high expectations for their ever-evolving downtown, and First Watch might just meet that mark. Adding to the neighborhood's tapestry, names like Trader Joe’s, Dave’s Hot Chicken, and Bacchus Wine & Debauchery have also found a home in this urban playground.
GSQ isn't just a one-hit wonder with a solitary new restaurant; it's rapidly transforming into an upscale dining destination. George Getz, Co-CEO of Globe Corporation, conveyed the area's vision: "GSQ is coming to life as a premier West Valley destination for dining and gathering." The partnership between the city of Goodyear and development moguls is drawing in a crowd that's ready to explore and indulge in the offerings of a downtown that’s reaching new heights.
But it’s not just all about food. On the horizon for GSQ is an array of businesses aiming to set up shop over the next two years. Nordstrom Rack, Fogo de Chão, and Firebirds Wood Fired Grill are just a few of the names slated for 2026 and 2027 launches. And let’s not overlook the cultural fabric of this district – with City Hall, a two-story library, office space, and a verdant two-acre park, locals can feast on both sustenance and knowledge. City of Goodyear's website has the lowdown on all things GSQ for those who want the full scoop.
