The store’s opening will also include statements from Fry’s president Monica Garnes and Queen Creek Mayor Julia Wheatly.

“I’m excited to once again welcome Fry’s Marketplace to Queen Creek as they open their second store in our town,” Mayor Wheatly said in a press release. “Not only will the new store bring jobs to our community, but it creates even more retail options for our residents who will be able to get groceries, visit a pharmacy, fuel up their vehicles, grab a cup of coffee and more.”

The store will be open daily from 6:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m.
