The Suns look to keep their magical season alive Tuesday in Milwaukee, hoping to force a decisive Game 7 in pursuit of their first NBA championship. Suns fever has swept the Valley, and many local businesses have jumped on the opportunity to capitalize on the team’s success.
Restaurants throughout the valley are jumping on the Suns bandwagon and offering their own themed products and promotions. The Angry Crab Shack is offering a CP3 Hurricane mixed drink, which is named after the Suns point guard Chris Paul. Ghett Yo Pizza has two specials on their menu titled Year of the Suns and Rally the Valley. The Shazaam! West Coast IPA is being offered by the PHX Beer Co. as a nod to legendary Suns radio announcer Al McCoy s iconic catchphrase.
PHOENIX – Local businesses impacted by COVID-19 call the Phoenix Suns’ playoff run a shining light emerging from the dark tunnel of a pandemic.
Willie’s Taco Joint, which sits between Phoenix Suns Arena and Chase Field, has weathered recent economic challenges in part because its landlords, the Diamondbacks and Suns, paid half its rent during the worst parts of the pandemic, owner Eric Stoltz said. Now the restaurant is receiving a boost from a team that started playing in the postseason May 23 and will host the Milwaukee Bucks in Game 5 of the NBA Finals Saturday night.
“It was going really well, and then of course last year we had the pandemic which was absolutely brutal but we got through it. And now this year it’s starting to go really well again,” Stoltz said about the restaurant that opened in December of 2016.
