I love AJs - I know that if I need some "specialty" type of item - they will have it. I know that if I want to grab a yummy, delicious baked good - they will have it. I know if I want to pick up some fabulous cut of meat - they will have it. Do I shop there everyday? Of course not - but I do make it there about once a month.
They also have a great kids program that meets once a month. For Easter they had an egg hunt, complete with bunny, baskets with goodies in them ready for the kids and a gourmet treat for them when they were done with the hunt. My kids came home with jelly belly beans, belgium chocolate bunnies, german chocolate & fruit creme filled eggs and hand made bunny & chick fruit gummies - all for the low, low cost of $0! And the brunch on the patio is pretty tasty too!
They are also AZ locally owned - that right there give them one step up in my book.
