| - I'm visiting friends in the small city of Buckeye, AZ. I say small because it felt really small, like not a lot of people. Turns out it was really small in 2000 with just over 6500 people, however it's been growing by leaps and bounds since then! When the 2010 census rolled around, Buckeye's population had EXPLODED to more than 50,000! That's an increase of 673% in 10 years, WOW! I guess it's not that "small" after all, because Buckeye is spread out over 392 SQUARE MILES!!
Oh that's right... I'm reviewing a grocery store here not giving a history lesson, so let's get back to that.
We made a couple trips to this store, one of two grocery stores in town. It was modern, clean, very well stocked and HUGE! I wandered around exploring the store and was quite surprised by some of the things I found.
There is a very nice, well stocked produce department.

A nice deli counter/department too.

Very clean and well stocked rows (& rows & rows) of merchandise.

There is also a bank, a bakery, a post office, a garden center, a full-on pharmacy and even a medical clinic in this store!! Boy-o-boy this is quite the grocery store... and talk about one-stop-shopping!! Fry's Marketplace has hit that nail directly on the head on that point, WOW!
