Two national restaurant chains are among the latest businesses announced for GSQ, the city’s new downtown district.

Fogo de Chão, a Brazilian steakhouse known for tableside service of fire-roasted meats, plans to open at Goodyear Way and Bullard Avenue in 2026, according to the city. First Watch, a breakfast, brunch and lunch chain, is set to open the same year at Bullard Avenue and McDowell Road.

Other businesses scheduled to open in 2026 include California Fish Grill, CAVA, Kura Revolving Sushi Bar and Veterinary Emergency Group, which will operate a 24-hour animal hospital.

“GSQ is rapidly becoming one of the West Valley’s premier destinations,” said Goodyear Mayor Joe Pizzillo. “The addition of these businesses reflects the remarkable growth and vibrancy taking place in Goodyear.”

The mixed-use district, co-developed by RED Development and Globe Corp., is planned as a walkable urban center with restaurants, retailers, entertainment, offices, residential units and a hotel.

“With each new business announcement, the vision of GSQ as a vibrant hub for dining, entertainment, and community comes more to life,” said Globe Corp. Co-CEO George Getz. "The momentum is building, and we’re just getting started.”

 Previously announced businesses include Nordstrom Rack, Trader Joe’s, Black Rock Coffee Bar and Firebirds Wood Fired Grill.
