The Mesa-Gilbert location promises a variety of experiences including children’s birthday parties, adult cooking classes, summer camps and corporate team-building events. The Arizona location is also available as part of Arizona’s state-certified homeschool curriculum to assist in home economics learning.

Flour Power offers more than 1,400 specially-curated and chef-inspired recipes for everything from confetti pancakes to cheeseburger sliders. Each class participant receives a copy of the recipes and ingredients used in the class, so all participants can recreate and enjoy the meal again whenever they like.

“We are thrilled to expand the Flour Power Cooking Studios brand into the great state of Arizona,” says Sarah Moritz, president of Flour Power Cooking Studios. “Opening our doors in Mesa-Gilbert marks a significant milestone for our franchise, and we’re honored to introduce our unique culinary experience to the Phoenix area and this growing community.”

All Flour Power franchise locations are locally owned and operated. The Mesa Gilbert location is run by the husband-and-wife team of Jamie and Michael Bialowitz. With 30 years of experience and expertise in business development and human resources, the Bialowitz’s are excited to share their newest creation with Arizona businesses and families.

“At Flour Power Cooking Studios, there is something for everyone to create, no matter your age or ability,” says Mesa-Gilbert owner-operator Michael Bialowitz. “Our kitchens are a space where creativity, imagination and education blend together. Most importantly, we want our guests to smile and have fun.”
