The Air Guitar Convenience Store is Back in Action
Remember Air Guitar, which was supposed to be opening next to the Epicenter at Agritopia in Gilbert in 2020? The project a convenience store initiated by two couples (Craig and Kris DeMarco, the restaurateurs and co-founders of Upward Projects, and Eric and Elissa Seitz, “retail store gurus” of Bro Retail Group) broke ground this week. The 5,000-square-foot store will sit under a floating 9,000-square-foot canopy, which will probably be a sight to see when it opens next summer/fall at the northwest corner of Higley and Ray roads (specifically 1566 South Higley Road in Gilbert). Air Guitar will serve coffee, tea, beer, wine, a healthy-leaning grab-and-go fare.
