Original ChopShop opening 11th Arizona location in central Phoenix at 7th Street and Thomas

The Original ChopShop is opening in central Phoenix at what was once a gas station on 7th Street and Thomas Road.

State of play: The former Speedy Pit Stop that closed years ago is giving way to the fast-casual health food concept on the southeast corner of the intersection, across from the Phoenix Country Club, according to the City of Phoenix and the company's website .

• Original ChopShop's website says the central Phoenix location will open sometime in 2025.
• The company touts itself as "Healthy Food Near Me" and its menu features items like grilled protein and "superfruit" bowls and parfaits, salads, juices and protein shakes.

Zoom out: ChopShop opened its first location in Scottsdale and was founded by Ryan and Caitlin Jocque, a couple who were "tired of eating Chipotle every day," CEO Jason Morgan told Restaurant Business Magazine .

• The chain, now owned by Houston-based Mac Haik Enterprises, has 22 locations in Arizona, Georgia and Texas.
• The central Phoenix spot will be the 11th in Arizona and 10th in the Valley.

Between the lines: Zoning documents filed with the city list the site as a future location of Colorado-based chicken chain Birdcall, which has three locations in the Valley .

• A public relations representative for the company confirmed that won't be a Birdcall location.

Editor's note: This story has been corrected to reflect that ChopShop, not Birdcall, is opening at the site that was formerly a gas station on 7th Street and Thomas Road.
