Perry’s sets opening date for its first Arizona restaurant in Gilbert

Perry's Steakhouse & Grille announced that it will open its first Arizona restaurant on Monday, June 8, 2026. The company said the new site will be in Gilbert's Northside at SanTan Village, giving the East Valley a firm opening date for a high-profile restaurant project that had been in the pipeline.

For the brand, the Gilbert opening is more than a single store launch. Perry's described Arizona as its 12th market, so the restaurant is entering the state as part of a wider geographic expansion rather than a one-off experiment. That makes the opening notable for local business watchers tracking which national and regional hospitality brands see the Phoenix metro as worth long-term investment.

The timing also matters for residents. By setting a June opening in mid-April, the company shifted the project from rumor stage to a near-term arrival with a defined timeline, which is especially useful for diners, nearby retailers and commercial landlords watching activity around SanTan Village. In practical terms, the announcement indicators continued confidence in Gilbert as a destination for major restaurant concepts.
