The new openings signal continued momentum for the North Central Phoenix corridor, which has seen ownership’s significant reinvestment and high-profile debuts flourish, including The Henry and nationally acclaimed Salt & Straw, both of which opened last year. For 2026, the next wave of vibrancy has hit the plaza, with the first-to-market brick-and-mortar Korean BBQ sandwich experience and the tech-centric athletic retailer joining the tenant mix.
Local Cult-Favorite Makes Brick-and-Mortar Debut
Founded by husband-and-wife duo Sumin Kim and Sean Atkinson, Let’s Toast has built a devoted following at the Uptown Farmers Market and local festivals. Known for its authentic Korean BBQ breakfast sandwiches and Seoul-inspired street food, the concept has now transitioned to its first permanent home. The move represents a full-circle moment for the brand, launching in the same neighborhood where it first gained popularity. Let’s Toast is now open to the public. @letstoastofficial
