A family business with five locations in Iowa, owner/president and Apache Junction winter visotor Jim Schmidt decided it was time to expand operations to Apache Junction, AZ.

Downtown Apache Junction is transforming! Through the guidance of the Downtown Revitalization and Implementation Strategy, the community is embracing a plan that will create a vibrant downtown that reflects the heritage of the community as it evolves into a 21st Century city.
Five major themes or "guiding principles" drive the plan.
The purpose: to create a plan of action that identifies a strategy and framework of goals for creating a downtown or town center that reflects the heritage of the Apache Junction community. The community's vision is to create a central place identified as the center or symbolic "heart" of the city.
The emphasis of this plan is to develop a strategy that is clear in direction, detailed in recommendations and capable of being implemented in small increments. View the Downtown Redevelopment and Implementation Strategy.
