North Scottsdale’s Sonora Village is turning heads with its latest lineup of dining and retail additions, making it a go-to destination for food lovers and shoppers. The YAM Properties-owned shopping center welcomed Akamaru Japanese Restaurant, bb.q Chicken, Floor & Decor, and Dollar Tree.
“Sonora Village continues to evolve in exciting ways, and we’re proud to introduce new tenants that elevate the experience for North Scottsdale,” said Marta Kenny, director of real estate at YAM Properties. “These additions strengthen the momentum of the trade area and support our ongoing leasing efforts to create engaging, connected destinations for residents across the Valley.”
For those craving authentic Japanese cuisine, Akamaru Japanese Restaurant offers an elevated experience under the guidance of Owner and Chef Hiro, who honed his craft in elite kitchens from Japan to New York. Guests can enjoy onigirazu rice sandwiches and donburi rice bowls for lunch, while evenings transform the space into an izakaya serving delicate sashimi, crisp tempura, and other shareable small plates.
bb.q Chicken brings global Korean fried chicken to North Scottsdale, emphasizing its signature extra crispy texture, flavors, and authentic recipes. The restaurant also offers ice-cold beer and Korean soju to complement its dishes. Ranked No. 7 on Yelp’s fastest-growing restaurant brands in 2025, bb.q Chicken promises a lively and flavorful dining experience.
For home improvement enthusiasts, Floor & Decor delivers a broad assortment of laminate, vinyl, tile, wood, and natural stone flooring, along with installation materials and decorative accessories at everyday low prices. Operating in 38 states, this multi-channel specialty retailer also serves the commercial surfaces market.
Dollar Tree rounds out the new offerings as one of North America’s largest value retailers. Shoppers can explore a wide selection of consumables, variety items, and seasonal merchandise, many from trusted national and regional brands, delivering both convenience and the thrill of discovery.
The center’s recent additions build on momentum from last year, when Saigon District Pho and Boba, Veda Indian Cuisine, and Bricks and Mini Figs opened in the second half of 2025. With occupancy now at 93 percent, Sonora Village has just two junior anchors and one small-format space available for lease, reflecting its growing appeal.
