LaQuinta Fisher hopes her new hair salon, Silk Press Xpress, brings a little bit of Southern hospitality to Maricopa. “When people feel that Southern hospitality, they will feel welcomed,” she told InMaricopa. The fledgling business offers silk presses, coloring, braids, hair and lash extensions, and brow services. Silk Press Xpress and the Maricopa Chamber of Commerce will host a swanky grand opening April 6 at 10 a.m. at the salon, 44360 W. Edison Road, Suite 130. Silk Press Xpress
BRIEF
Unfortunately, the award-winning Phoenix restaurant likely will not be coming to Maricopa after all. Owners Leo and Brian Madrigal had not “taken any action to move forward” in opening the Maricopa location it announced in 2021 before its March deadline, according to city officials. On top of that, Cocina Madrigal suffered a kitchen fire in mid-March that closed the restaurant’s flagship location indefinitely. City officials speculated it may cause owners to “direct their attention away from Maricopa.”

Ace Hardware’s top cat
Smokey, a stray garden kitty turned chief mouser, emotional support cat and honorary floor supervisor, began his em-paw-ment at Karsten’s Ace Hardware. The loveable feline made the store his mew-est home and has settled into his role, said store supervisor Ashley Cross. “Smokey is just a very loving cat,” she said. “He loves to nap, he loves to greet people and he is usually front and center so he can see what’s going on.”

Mandy’s Wine Bar
The woman-owned restaurant plans to begin serving customers glasses, tastings and flights this summer away from Maricopa’s main strip, at 41600 W. Smith Enke Road, Suite 120. “The focus is on wine, but I want everyone to feel welcome and have something they can enjoy,” said owner Amanda Atler. The wine bar will feature a rotating
shop as the city’s first ever pot store. The Planning & Zoning Commission approved a conditional use permit for the city’s first marijuana dispensary, despite safety concerns from the police department and school district. The dispensary will sit on the southeast corner of John Wayne Parkway and Honeycutt Avenue, just south of the Lowe’s Home Improvement store currently under construction and at least 1,500 feet away from nearby schools.

Stonegate development
In just a matter of weeks, paperwork flooded in for multiple commercial and residential projects at the northwest corner of Maricopa-Casa Grande Highway and Stonegate Road. Last month, then-City Manager Rick Horst said Buffalo Wild Wings, Circle K and Starbucks have shown interest in setting up shop somewhere on the 36 acres of land that will also be the site of a Home Depot store. A public records request showed not only restaurants and a convenience store were coming to the area, but also two multifamily rental housing developments. This would bring an additional 446 rental units to the city.
