No Arizona city or town has seen growth so far this decade quite like Queen Creek.
By the numbers: The town, which straddles both Maricopa and Pinal counties, has added nearly 30,000 people since 2020, an almost 49% increase.
Its total population is now just below 90,000.
The intrigue: Developers are taking notice. In recent months, Postino, Snooze, Bamboo Sushi and Shake Shack have announced they're moving to Queen Creek, too.
