Snooze an A.M. Eatery will be opening its sixth Arizona location, this time in downtown Phoenix in the building best known as the former home of Circles Records & Tapes. Located near Central Avenue and McKinley Street at 800 North Central Avenue, #3, the third Phoenix-proper location of the popular brunch chain with the Midcentury Modern theme is set to open on Friday, December 27.
For those unfamiliar with the structure, the building first opened in 1947 as a Studebaker dealership called Stewart Motor Company. As we reported in 2016, it housed the music shop Circles from 1972 to 2010. It’s been empty ever since.
So, for those who have noticed rumblings at the old Circles spot, here are some details. The new 4,000-square-foot Snooze will seat roughly 135 to 145 people, including the dining room, bar, mezzanine, and patio. And that patio, seating up to 18 diners, will of course be pet-friendly.
