Health-focused CoreLife Eatery makes AZ debut in south Tempe

CoreLife Eatery, a fast-casual concept specializing in healthy food, makes its Arizona debut this week on the northeast corner of McClintock and Warner in south Tempe.

CoreLife uses only grass-fed beef, antibiotic-free chicken and pork, and cage-free eggs. All ingredients are free of GMOs, trans fats, artificial colors, sweeteners, and additives.

Its standard menu features salads, grain bowls, and rice bowls, but the Tempe location also will offer tacos.

Valley native Adam Archuleta, who played football at ASU before going on to the NFL, is one of the managing partners in Tempe.

The public can sign up for lunch or dinner previews Tuesday (register here) and Wednesday (register here), followed by a charity fundraiser Thursday. An official grand opening celebration will take place Friday.

CoreLife was founded in Syracuse, N.Y., in 2015. It now has nearly 100 locations in more than a dozen states.
