CityScape Phoenix will introduce yet another first for Arizona with the opening of Potbelly Sandwich Shop, the popular Chicago-based chain, along with the addition of the men’s apparel store, JoS. A. Bank, both coming to downtown this fall.
Potbelly Sandwich Shop will occupy a 3,000 square-foot space beside Fuego CityScape along First Street. The restaurant company has built a passionate, loyal following of fans who spread the word about the fun, energetic atmosphere and great food. The unique Potbelly Sandwich Shop experience is defined by its combination of toasty warm sandwiches, hand-dipped shakes and friendly, lively people.
“When you think of famous sandwich shops with cult followings, Potbelly is definitely on the list. We’re thrilled to be able to bring this East Coast favorite to Arizona,” said Jeff Moloznik, general manager of CityScape. “Potbelly Sandwich Shop is the perfect addition to the variety of restaurants we have at CityScape Phoenix.”
Additionally, JoS. A. Bank will open a 3,600 square-foot store that offers a full selection of men’s tailored and casual clothing, footwear and accessories. With 550 stores nationwide, what makes the retailer unique is also what has attracted customers to the stores for 107 years; a heritage of quality and workmanship, an extensive selection of beautifully made, classically styled tailored and casual clothing, and prices typically 20 to 30 percent below competitor prices. The store will open in August and occupy the former Republic of Couture space.
“We’re excited to reinforce the value of dining and shopping destinations in downtown,” added Moloznik. “With Hotel Palomar Phoenix opening this week and these two major tenants preparing to open this fall, we’re playing off of a really positive momentum.”
Kimpton’s Hotel Palomar Phoenix is opening June 5 at CityScape. The boutique hotel offers 242 spacious guest rooms and suites, all with modern interior touches and views of the surrounding city and mountains. In step with the signature style of Kimpton’s Hotel Palomar, the Phoenix destination combines contemporary design with an “Art in Motion” theme embracing the undercurrent of artistic energy throughout. Amenities include approximately 10,000 square feet of multi-use space across 10 meeting rooms, which can be customized for social and business events. The adjacent Blue Hound Kitchen & Cocktails showcases a menu of new American cuisine for lunch, dinner, late-night and weekend brunch and a blazing cocktail program that raises the bar for drink culture in the city’s urban core, while the hotel’s third-floor outdoor pool terrace and adjacent Lustre bar provide a scenic venue for gathering.
