...didnt I read a post from 85239, that they were supposed to open here soon? I can only imagine they have pulled out or its on hold... I know not many people live here (according to corperations) but man i was at Fry's yesterday and it seemed like everyone in Maricopa was there shopping!!!

I spoke with someone at the Fresh and Easy on Ray Rd in Chandler a few weeks ago. We asked if they were opening any other markets anywhere (did not mention Maricopa) they said there corporate is putting holds on new markets for a while, they want to see how things work out any kinks in their stores....They were having some cash register/ computer problems when we were there. Sounds like most stores are proceding very carefully do to the economy, not just the Maricopa area.

They were supposed to be on the NW corner of JWP and Hathaway, the lot in front of the Chamber of Commerce

Spoke with a person from the city the other day and we were talking about the coming's and going's and Fresh and Easy is still on track. I think they are at the "sign going to be posted" stage.

I just received a hearing notice regarding new development at the SW corner of Edison and JWP...just south of the new Tutor Time. Fresh & Easy is listed as one of the stores planned for that shopping center.

I think they are at the "sign going to be posted" stage. They can put the sign next to the Maricopa Station sign. The empty lot north of CVS. I've been here about 1.5 years and that sign was there then. I have yet to see ANYTHING develope.

I spoke with the Manager of the store that is out on Baseline near Laveen. The manager lives in Maricopa and would really like a store here, but he said they did not have plans for one anytime soon. This was about 2 months ago. So things may have changed, but if the manage,r of a FRESH AND EASY ,that lives in Maricopa has no idea, I would not be hopefull.

I read in the Arizona Republic that Fresh and Easy Stores in the bay area missed their sales projections by a whopping 70% for the first quarter of this year. I don't know whether this means anything for us, but I would think that unless sales in existing stores in the U.S. improve considerably, they will rethink future expansion plans.

I wasn't too impressed with the one on ray road..... Still prefer sprouts by far.
