## Story

“It has been a privilege to introduce farm-to-table food to Gilbert, Arizona and bring new jobs and opportunities for the community,” said Omar Mawas, franchise owner of the Gilbert - N. Higley Rd. restaurant. “Giving back to the community is an integral part of the Farmer Boys mission, and we are thrilled to support Highland High School during our grand opening celebration! I hope everyone in the community visits on Sept. 25 so that we can deliver a donation as large as our signature fried zucchini sticks!”

The Gilbert - N. Higley Rd. location is open from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily. The restaurant offers dine-in, drive-thru, phone, and take-out service.

“Highland High School is looking forward to the Farmer Boys grand opening fundraiser and we’re thankful for the support. The proceeds will be used for programs and social activities for Highland High School students!” said Katrina Arellano, administrative assistant to Principal Melinda Murphy at Highland High School.

For 40 years, Farmer Boys has set the standard for serving high quality, farm fresh food in a fast casual setting. The menu consists of award-winning burgers, Always Crispy Fries, cooked-to-order breakfast served all day, hand-chopped salads, specialty sandwiches, and more, all prepared with quality ingredients that are locally sourced whenever possible. Produce is delivered fresh and whole to each restaurant every morning, meaning it doesn’t sit in a warehouse for weeks and can be enjoyed at its pinnacle of crispness and flavor.

By going the extra mile for delicious, flavorful food, Farmer Boys’ guests can count on fresh, cooked-to-order meals every time they visit.
