Steve Kovach had prior experience with the location of Duke’s, which is the former A1 Pawn building located at 19395 N. John Wayne Parkway, just north of Exceptional Community Hospital. “I knew that spot from the 1970s,” he remembered.
“I was going to school at Arizona State, but for three months in the summer I worked underground in the mines in Casa Grande. I used to sit and wait for the trains there [recalling the days long before the current overpass].” Taking advantage of his
construction past, Kovach and others “made all the tables and doors at Duke’s. We built it ourselves.” Summarizing the journey that has resulted in Duke’s Roadhouse, he said: “I’m having a blast!”
LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION Amanda Atler took several years to find the right location in Maricopa for her wine bar — in the office and shopping plaza at the corner of Smith- Enke and Porter Roads.
