The Strasser family turned a spring break meal in Scottsdale into a Sneakybird franchise by opening their first restaurant in Gilbert and later expanding to Surprise, Queen Creek, and Arcadia.
They serve oven-grilled chicken prepared without deep frying to offer a healthier, quality meal.

🌲 Environment
Gilbert will replace non-recreational decorative turf with water-efficient landscaping in five parks via a $3 million state-funded project that will save about 3.9 million gallons of water each year.
Work will finish by June 2026 while sports fields and active lawns remain for community use.
