The Treasure Valley is expecting several new businesses to open in the coming months. One of the confirmed openings is Flower Child, a healthy restaurant chain based in Arizona, which will be located at The Village at Meridian. The restaurant is expected to open in the fall of 2026 and will offer fresh, healthy food made with real ingredients.

Other New Businesses

In addition to Flower Child, other new businesses coming to the area include Potbelly Sandwich Works, Culinary Dropout, and Tecovas. Potbelly Sandwich Works is a sandwich chain that is targeting Boise for its first Idaho location as part of a national expansion. Culinary Dropout is a Fox Restaurant Concepts eatery that is slated for The Village expansion in Meridian, and will offer elevated comfort food with a fun atmosphere. Tecovas, a popular western wear retailer, is also heading to The Village and is expected to open in October 2026.

First Watch, a breakfast and brunch chain, is also expanding in Meridian with a third location on Linder Road near Chinden, in the old Biscuit and Hogs location. The new location is expected to open soon.

Rumors and Speculation

There are also rumors and speculation about other businesses that may be coming to the area. One rumor is that In-N-Out may be expanding to other locations in Idaho beyond Meridian. Additionally, there is talk of a proposed Target near Franklin and Ten Mile, although no official timelines have been announced.

The District at Ten Mile, a massive mixed-use development, could also bring a variety of retail, restaurants, and entertainment options to Meridian over the coming years.
