Fat Freddy's opens café at Surprise City Hall

Surprise, AZ (September 28, 2009) A trip to Surprise City Hall just got a lot tastier, as Fat Freddy's Café is now open for business.

Located in the southwest corner of City Hall, 16000 N. Civic Center Plaza, Fat Freddy's serves up breakfast and lunch items, Monday - Friday, 7 a.m. - 2 p.m.

Fat Freddy's has served the Valley for more 15 years as a catering company and the Surprise City Hall location now allows people to sit down and enjoy the delicious fare.  Breakfast items include bagels and pastries; fresh fruit; Belgium waffles; breakfast wraps and sandwiches. For lunch a variety of artisan sandwiches, fresh salads and pizza make up the menu. There's even a hot lunch "Blue Plate Special" offered daily.  Dessert offerings include fresh-baked cookies, brownies or a piña coloda bread pudding with caramel rum sauce.

In April, the Surprise City Council authorized the transfer of $150,000 from Council contingencies to complete the build out of the 1,800 square foot café space, preparing it for a future tenant.                                     

Following a Request for Proposal, City Council approved a concessions contract with Fat Freddy's earlier this month.  No revenue is budgeted for this lease, rather Fat Freddy's will pay a percentage of gross sales in an effort to cover the operational costs associated with the leased space, such as water, electricity and trash service.
