| - Large, huge selection, quick lines
Read about the opening of AZIM in the Phoenix Business Journal and had to make a visit. The descriptions are accurate: The place is huge (especially for an Asian grocery store), the selection runs the gamut, and they are still getting things down with the new store opening oddities.
Examples:
1) The boba tea place in the front can't make shaved ice until next week and wasn't going to be ready with boba for the boba teas until about 11 AM.
2) Lines were super long when we arrived, but most had pared down by the time we were ready.
3) Some of the worse grocery carts! With how they wobble, squeak, and stick, I think they stole them from the homeless to have enough for the opening.
4) Well-lit and organized store with a good number of people working to constantly re-stock things.
5) Some of the mini-stores in the AZIM aren't open or are still preparing to open.
6) No authentic Asian food place with some roast duck, roast pig, or other hanging? The Asian food place in there looks like something from the mall.
7) The surrounding stores around the parking lot are still opening/renovating/preparing.
8) Cashier was a bit confused by me using a credit card instead of a debit card. Didn't take long, but was an odd thing.
9) Prices are average to good for what we usually buy.
Good overall and with some practice and time, I'm sure it will be even better!
