Construction completed on phase two of Fortuna Commons shopping center

Yuma, Ariz. --Construction is complete on Phase 2 of the Fortuna Commons shopping center, anchored by Fry’s Food & Drug. New tenants include Firehouse Subs, Goodwill, and AutoZone.



The development of the center launched in 2008 by Brown Group’s Gary Brown and Todd Kjar, who proposed that the original Fry’s anchor expand and relocate across the street. The new, large-format Fry’s (101,000 sq. ft. versus the original store’s 50,000 sq. ft.) opened on August 12, 2011, and is one of the chain’s highest performing stores.



Fortuna Commons Phase I was completed in Nov. 2012. It is 100% leased with Aaron’s furniture, appliances and electronics, Chase bank; Cost Cutters; Denny’s; GNC; Ocotillo Dental Associates; and #1 Nails Salon.



Goodwill, the first Phase 2 shop to open, did so on Sept. 12, 2014. Firehouse Subs is also open for business, and AutoZone has signed a lease and is currently going through the entitlement process.
