Casa Grande commuters who left their daily travel mug of coffee at home, again, will soon have a new place to pick up a cup of joe to go. The Scooters coffee chain has confirmed that plans to build a drive-thru kiosk or maybe two, in Casa Grande. The chain is also looking at possibly placing one in Coolidge.

Also, the next time you stop by the grocery store to buy some more coffee for the days you do remember your travel mug, pick up a few things for the F.O.R. Maricopa Food Bank. The food bank is in need of a few staple items, such as peanut butter. They could also use some volunteers. If you do volunteer bring a friend. The food bank is offering small gift cards as an incentive for volunteers who bring a buddy along to help.

Still got some energy at the end of the day or just need a break from the daily grind? You may want to check out one of the many local trails. While you’re looking at the map you can pencil in a new one. Apache Junction and Gold Canyon are planning to build a new 9-mile paved bike path between the two communities. By the way, do you have any suggestions for good coffee shops in Apache Junction? My travel mug is empty.
