Downtown Phoenix Fry’s Grocery Store to Open in September


Food/Health

Until now, Downtown Phoenix didn’t have its own full-fledged grocery store. That is, however, going to change in September 2019 when Fry's grocery store would set its shop in the vibrant district.

A specific date is yet to be set for the store’s opening, according to corporate affairs manager of Kroger for the Fry’s division, Pam Giannonatti.

Store Plans

According to Pam, the Downtown Phoenix grocery store would be 67,000 square feet in total area and would have most of the amenities a typical grocery outlet has: a deli, pharmacy, bakery, Starbucks, and curbside pick-up and online ordering would be part of the course. The building’s first floor would be the store, with the second floor offering parking space. The basement would be allotted for product storage, office space, and food preparation.

If you currently go to the ASU Downtown campus, the new Fry's would be only a few hundred meters away from the residence hall. However, the launch would certainly be after the newest class of ASU (Arizona State University) students moving in, which would be starting August 17, 2019. The details mentioned above of the soon-to-be launched store sounds like the wait would be worth it for the people of the community.

Retail Complex

Fry's would constitute a residential-retail-office complex with a total area of 230,000 square feet. It’s a “Block 23” development currently being constructed by RED Development, and is situated very close to Chase Field, CityScape, and several downtown neighborhoods and apartment complexes.

The complex would also house more than 320 deluxe apartments from Blancos Tacos and Tequila, Streetlights Residential, and offices for WeWork, Ernst and Young. All of these are likely to open later in 2019, as per the development’s spokesperson. Specific opening dates are yet to be revealed.

The Downtown Phoenix project received $18.3 million in property tax break and incentives from Phoenix. RED bought the Phoenix-owned land between Jefferson and Washington streets for $18 million in 2016 – payments for which would be made over a period of 50 years, as per the agreement.

No doubt, the project will create jobs. It would also provide office space that shall appeal a lot more to creative firms.
