I am a huge fan of Fresh & Easy. I come from a city where there is a lot of variety and convenient places to get food. I find Scottsdale as a whole to be a very bland market, dominated by chains.
But F&E stands out.
It's not the biggest store, nor does it have a million different items in a crazy variety.
It does have good prices for easy to prepare food. some are good and some are not to my taste. But many stores have foods with these faults.
I do love their clearance section one of the employees, Carl introduced me to it. On my first visit in the store he walked me through and gave me the full run down. A sweet, sweet man that seems to be very genuine.
It's sad to hear that the chain may suffer a closure. I will hope that it doesn't happen anytime soon!
