PHOENIX — Food City on Friday opened its first Starbucks café location in Arizona in the West Valley, serving its beverages and pastries in the store with a long-standing reputation of service to the Hispanic community.
The No. 1 request customers presented to the Food City located at 91st Avenue and Thomas Road was a Starbucks café addition, Mike Solis, director of operations for Food City, said in a press release.
“We love being able to make popular requests like this one a reality,” Solis said in the release.
The newest addition to the grocery store is something to celebrate, said Lynn Engelke, director of Starbucks for Bashas’ and Food City.
