Stagecoach Village Opens in Cave Creek

Filed under: Breaking News — Chamber @ 6:50 pm

On Thursday February 21st, members of the public had their first taste of this spectacular walking mall. In the morning VIPs were treated to a tour of the facility and an open discussion with the developers. Later that afternoon, Chamber members and several other guests were invited to a mixer.  Music, good food, and performers on horseback were part of the festivities.

Three of our Chamber members will be moving into Stagecoach in the near future, namely; RE/MAX  – Kathie Nohre, PAGES BOOKSTORE - Will Pearson and BRIX WINE SPOT - Nancy & Bryan Franks.

This is a great addition to Cave Creek and is hoped it will become a center for new events.
