AR Concepts, the creative restaurant group renown for creating Mesquite Fresh Street Mex, is unveiling two new grab-and-go brands uniquely hosted in the same 2,000 square-foot location in Old Town Scottsdale. Located at 4441 N. Buckboard Trail, Scottsdale, Ariz., Chickadees Chicken and Fries and Grindhouse Espresso Bar will debut during the restaurant’s Labor Day weekend grand opening.

“We’re excited to announce two new dining concepts in the heart of Scottsdale’s entertainment district,” said Ahmad Alatrash, co-founder of AR Concepts. “We conceptualized Chickadees and Grindhouse as the solution to what was missing in the district – high quality chicken and coffee in one convenient location.”
