On Wednesday, June 20, Sam Fox’s healthy fast-casual restaurant will open the doors to its fourth Valley location in Desert Ridge Marketplace. Led by Executive Chef Lauren Kyles—who previously worked for various high-profile restaurants in the Los Angeles area, drawing fans among the Hollywood elite—the restaurant will feature veggies, grains, fruits and healthy proteins in the form of bowls, build-your-own plates, whole-grain wraps or salads, all made from scratch daily and with ingredients designed to revitalize the body, mind and soul. Guests can expect fun surprises on opening day, including:

  • Do Good, Feel Good: A portion of the proceeds from opening day will benefit The Joy Bus, a nonprofit dedicated to relieving the daily struggles of homebound cancer patients with a fresh, chef-inspired meal and a friendly face.
  • Keep It Wild at Flower Child: The first 400 guests who dine at the new location will receive a free, limited edition Keep It Wild and Flower Child collaboration sticker, designed exclusively for the opening. The first 200 guests at all other Flower Child locations in the Valley will also receive a sticker.
  • Sweet Confections:  Růže Cake House will provide gluten-free, decorative strawberry lemonade-flavored macarons to the first 300 guests to dine at the new location.
  • Flower Power: Alice’s Table will be on site during the lunch and dinner services, creating free flower bouquets for guests who stop in to the new location.
  • Keep Calm and Drink Kombucha: Wild Tonic Jun Kombucha will be serving up free kombucha samples throughout the day. Guests at all Flower Child locations in the Valley will also be able to register to win a gift basket featuring Wild Tonic swag and a $100 Flower Child gift card.

Flower Child will be open daily from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. and is located at 21001 N. Tatum Blvd. #16-1000, in Phoenix. For more information and to view the full menu, visit www.iamaflowerchild.com. Stay in the loop on Instagram at @EatFlowerChild.
