Joe & The Juice will open a 2,350-square-foot location. Founded in Copenhagen in 2002, the brand serves freshly made juices, shakes, coffee and sandwiches at more than 500 locations worldwide, with a culture built on energy, community and connection.
VIO Med Spa Queen Creek plans to open its 1,431-square-foot location later this month. The Nashville-area brand was named the No. 1 med spa franchise in Entrepreneur magazine’s 2026 Franchise 500® for the third consecutive year. The locally owned and operated Queen Creek spa will offer personalized aesthetic treatments, including wrinkle relaxers, dermal fillers, advanced facials, skin rejuvenation and medical-grade skincare, with an emphasis on client education, safety and natural-looking results.
[solidcore] will open a 1,905-square-foot studio in February 2027. The national strength-training brand’s 50-minute, full-body classes use slow, controlled movements on custom-built reformers to work muscles to exhaustion for a high-intensity, low-impact workout.
Salt & Straw will follow in spring 2027 with a 1,233-square-foot scoop shop. The Portland, Oregon-based brand is known for chef-driven flavors made with thoughtfully sourced ingredients, from classics like Sea Salt with Caramel Ribbons and Double Fold Vanilla to originals like Strawberry Honey Balsamic with Black Pepper, plus rotating seasonal menus, ice cream cakes and nostalgic treats such as The Tacolate.
Ultimate Longevity Center, the longevity brand featuring human biologist Gary Brecka, will open a 2,500-square-foot center in 2027. Members receive personalized plans built on advanced blood testing and clinical guidance, with access to hormone optimization, peptide therapies and targeted supplementation, along with recovery services including hyperbaric oxygen therapy, infrared sauna, red light therapy, dry cold plunge and localized cryotherapy.
To meet tenant demand, The Switchyard is accelerating phase two with a 12,751-square-foot retail building on the remaining pad at the northwest corner of the site. Construction is underway, with delivery expected in the fourth quarter of 2027. The Stillery, a live-music restaurant and bar with Arizona locations in Chandler, Goodyear and Happy Valley, has signed a lease in the new building.
The new brands join a roster of previously announced tenants. Postino will be the first to open, welcoming guests to its 3,800-square-foot space this month, followed later in November by ROOM and PORCH, a 1,761-square-foot home goods and lifestyle store. Edward Jones and Snooze, an A.M. Eatery are scheduled to open before year-end, and Shake Shack is set to open in December. In 2027, Zara Nail Bar will open a 3,519-square-foot salon in the first quarter, and Bamboo Sushi will open a 3,198-square-foot restaurant in the second quarter.
“The Switchyard is emerging as a true place to gather, walk and work, and the commitment from this lineup of tenant partners proves it,” said Alex Bez, chief operating officer of Creation. “With the first openings just around the corner, we can’t wait for Queen Creek residents to experience everything The Switchyard has to offer.”
The Switchyard is being developed by Creation in partnership with Horizon Real Estate Ltd. at Ellsworth and Ocotillo roads. LGE Design Build is the general contractor, and site work is expected to be substantially complete this month. At full buildout, The Switchyard will total 56,931 square feet of restaurant, retail and office space. For more information, visit SwitchyardAZ.com.
