Go Gilbert

Gilbert has a new spot for your next cookout.

Urban Butcher is now open at Verde at Cooley Station, bringing a neighborhood butcher shop to 2490 S. Recker Road, Suite 101. The shop focuses on premium cuts, Wagyu, Sonoran-inspired meats, house-made items, prepared foods, grill-ready options, and charcuterie boards.

It is independently owned and built for people who want something a little more personal than the grocery store meat counter, whether that means grabbing steaks for the weekend, picking up something ready for the grill, or putting together a board for guests.

Hours are listed as 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. daily.

Have you stopped in yet, or is this going on your weekend list?

From the diamond to the firehouse! ⚾🚒

How cool is this? Two Gilbert firefighters, Captain Andy Larkin and Matt McConnell, once chased big league dreams in professional baseball. Now they’ve traded cleats for boots and are bringing that same teamwork, grit, and heart to serving our community.

Different uniforms, same mission: show up, work hard, and be there when people need you most.

Gilbert is lucky to have them on the team! 👏🔥
