Let me tell you about a little gem right here in the heart of Chandler, Arizona: Downtown Ocotillo Plaza. As a proud owner with over 30 years under my belt in retail and condo construction, I’ve seen this place grow into the bustling hub it’s today.

The CHoP is Chandler’s first locally owned steakhouse!
