TUCSON, AZ (May 7, 2025) -- Scottsdale-based Plato Holdings has acquired the former Kneaders Bakery & Café at 135 S. Wilmot Road in Tucson for $2,300,000 ($508.84 PSF), which equates to $508.85 per square foot. The 4,520-square-foot freestanding building will be repurposed as Angie’s Prime Grill, a growing fast-casual concept known for serving USDA Prime steaks, burgers, and grilled chicken.
The new location will mark the fourth and largest Angie's-branded restaurant in Tucson, and notably, the first full-service, sit-down restaurant in the company’s portfolio. It is located directly across the street from an existing Angie’s Lobster. Other current Tucson locations include 2574 N. Campbell Avenue (Angie’s Prime Grill) and 110 S Wilmot (Angie’s Lobster), which operate as drive-thru only formats.
Meanwhile, Angie’s Prime Grill recently opened its newest Tucson location in a newly constructed 800-square-foot double-drive-thru building at 3805 E Broadway Blvd, at Camino del Norte, just west of Alvernon Way. The brand’s mission of delivering “affordable luxury” is showcased in a menu that includes prime steak, organic grilled chicken, and fresh-cut salads, served as bowls, burritos, or wraps—all grilled to order.
Angie’s Prime Grill and Angie’s Lobster are owned by Angie’s Food Concepts, founded in 2021 by Tony and Roushan Christofellis, the creators of the Salad and Go chain. After selling that brand and its 40 locations, the Christofellises launched the new concepts to focus on high-quality, value-driven food served quickly and affordably.

In the Wilmot property sale, the seller, Roebbelen Investors I of Powell, Ohio, was represented by Bill Clarkson, CCIM, of Realty Executives in Scottsdale. The buyer, Ray Plato, who leads Plato Holdings, is also a licensed real estate broker with Scottsdale-based Visa Realty.
The acquisition signals the continued expansion of the Angie’s brand in Southern Arizona. It underscores the growing investor demand for properties along Tucson’s high-traffic Wilmot corridor, a rapidly evolving retail and dining destination.
