Big Things Are Coming to Hunt Highway: Skyline Ranch Marketplace is Heating Up

If you live in or near San Tan Valley, chances are you’ve seen the construction moving at Hunt Highway and Gary Road. That stretch is about to become one of the East Valley’s biggest commercial hubs—and it’s happening fast.

What Is Skyline Ranch Marketplace?

Skyline Ranch Marketplace is a large-scale shopping and lifestyle development at the northeast corner of Hunt Highway and Gary Rd. It already features a Home Depot and is rapidly expanding to include a wide range of national retailers, restaurants, and services.

Here’s a look at what’s confirmed and coming:

• Cold Beers & Cheeseburgers – taking over the old Denny’s location (opening end of 2025 or early 2026)

• In-N-Out – burger fans rejoice

• Arby’s – more fast casual options

• Chick-fil-A – confirmed and coming soon

• WinCo Foods – estimated opening September 29, 2025

• Ulta Beauty

• Marshalls

• HomeGoods

• Rack Room Shoes

• Michaels

• PetSmart

• Five Below

• EOS Fitness

The ZON — A Lifestyle & Entertainment Hub

One of the most exciting additions is The ZON, a mixed-use concept bringing an entertainment-focused plaza with a variety of tenants, including:

• Tailgaters Tavern

• Einstein Bagels

• America’s Best Contacts & Eyeglasses

• Panera

• Classic & Fancy Nails Spa

• Juice/Smoothie Shop (proposed)

• Chiropractor (proposed)

• Barber (proposed)

• Mobile Phone Store (proposed)

• Dental Care (proposed)

This mix of food, services, and entertainment will create a “one-stop” destination that’s more than just a shopping center—it’s a lifestyle hub.

Why This Matters for Residents

For those already living in the Skyline Ranch and Copper Basin areas, this is massive. Until now, most retail and dining options meant heading into Queen Creek or further west into Chandler. But with these openings, you’ll be minutes away from everything from grocery runs to gym sessions to Friday night dinner.

And with WinCo, Cold Beers & Cheeseburgers, Chick-fil-A, and In-N-Out all in the same center, Skyline Ranch Marketplace is quickly becoming the heartbeat of San Tan Valley convenience.

And If You’re Thinking of Moving Here?

This is exactly the kind of development that helps a neighborhood grow in value and convenience. More services, better infrastructure, and a more self-sustained community mean less time in traffic and more time enjoying where you live.

As a local real estate expert, I can say with confidence: Skyline Ranch Marketplace is one of the strongest signals that San Tan Valley is leveling up.
