American Eat Co. is hosting a grand opening for its expanded space on Saturday, June 22.

The 2,600-square-foot space on the north side of the building was previously unoccupied. It includes a second bar geared for additional entertainment, such as arcade cabinets, a jukebox, and 10 televisions with surround sound.

“In a nutshell, this bar will be the obnoxious little brother of our existing Market Bar,” said Guillermo Gallegos, operating partner with the Common Group.

Additionally, the bar includes an expanded michelada and mimosa menu, along with over 120 canned beer options to enjoy in-house or buy to-go.

The expanded space also features murals from local artists Jessica Gonzales and Jonny Bubonik. Framed local art will rotate as well.

Furthermore, the expansion includes Berry Greens Acai & Juice Bar. The new joint features the namesake items along with smoothies, aguas frescas, parfaits, toasts, and a granola fruit bowl.

@Dedicatedgf is for sale, but it’s not closing. The Midtown bakery at 4500 E. Speedway Blvd. will continue normal operations into 2027 and is accepting holiday orders.

Owner Jennifer Kinkade announced the listing on Instagram, explaining that rising operating costs and accumulated debt have made it difficult to sustain the business, despite steadily increasing year-over-year sales since 2020. The sale includes the business, recipes, lease and equipment. Kinkade is also open to a partnership or angel investor. The buyer would not assume the bakery’s existing debt.

Dedicated offers an entirely gluten-free facility with vegan and dairy-free options, including pastries, bread, cookies, pies and custom cakes.

Interested buyers can email jen@dedicatedgf.com. Customers can continue placing holiday orders as usual.
