Central Phoenix now has it's very own Fresh & Easy Neighborhood Market at the SE Corner of 7th Ave & Indian School. 

The Central Phoenix location is the 67th U.S. store to open and Fresh & Easy CEO Tim Mason as well as several City of Phoenix dignitaries were on hand this morning for the Grand Opening. 

At roughly 10,000 square feet, Fresh & Easy markets are smaller than the typical supermarket to give customers a faster, easier shopping experience. In addition to fresh, prepared meals and produce, Fresh & Easy offers everyone’s favorite national brand products and household items, all at everyday low prices.

Each store employs approximately 20 to 30 people. All Fresh & Easy employees are given the opportunity to work at least 20 hours per week, which entitles them to comprehensive and affordable healthcare. Entry-level positions start at $9 an hour in Arizona, with similarly competitive salaries in other states, and offer a quarterly bonus of up to 10% and a 401(K) with company match.

I was able to roam around the store today before they opened to the public and take some photos, check the place out, etc.  I have to say I was impressed.  The phrase "neat and tidy" comes to mind in referring to the Fresh & Easy store.  Everything was so well organized and convenient.

Fresh & Easy's parent company is UK Based Tesco PLC.
