Are you searching for the perfect place to stock up on essentials or browse an eclectic selection of gifts? Metro Phoenix boasts some of the finest supermarkets and markets in town.
Local favorites such as Lee Lee International Supermarkets, Basha’s and AJ’s Fine Foods can be found at these neighborhood grocery stores, offering a diverse selection of Hispanic and global foods.
Sprouts Farmers Market
Sprouts Farmers Market is the ideal stop for fresh fruits and vegetables, as well as an impressive selection of artisanal foods. Additionally, it has vegan products available and the latest health and wellness gadgets.
What truly sets Sprouts Farmers Market apart is its commitment to sustainability. They have implemented numerous green initiatives in order to boost energy efficiency, reduce carbon emissions and minimize waste generation.
They are one of the largest retailers in America, with 380 stores across 23 states. The chain is renowned for its eye-catching light displays and impressive store layouts. Furthermore, their corporate headquarters building in Phoenix resembles a yurt and houses key executive offices, conference rooms and other important spaces. Most recently, they introduced their Smart Shop kiosk which allows shoppers to scan their shopping list and have items delivered directly to their door.
Basha’s
Basha’s is a family-run supermarket chain established in 1932 that now has 135 locations throughout Arizona. They provide everything from fresh produce and meat products to dairy items and more; plus there’s Cub House Childcare, an onsite pharmacy and Starbucks for added convenience.
This store is an excellent option for those searching for quality groceries with excellent service at reasonable prices. The deli department is well stocked with fresh and frozen items, while the meat department provides fantastic choices!
While there are plenty of grocers in the area, Basha’s consistently offers the most competitive prices and an upscale AJ store. Fry’s and Safeway come close with decent selections at similar prices, though their meat departments may not be quite as reliable.

Bashas’ owned establishment is renowned for its wide selection of traditional Mexican fare at budget-friendly prices, making it a prime shopping destination in its own right. A recently remodeled store features an expanded tortilleria, produce section and beer aisle as well as a Starbucks coffee shop at the front for added convenience.
