Stores & Markets in Avondale

Providing unique and thoughtful gifts for loved ones and reformed frenemies since 1951, the nearly 60-year-old Sphinx Ranch Gourmet Gift Market has been family run for three generations. The selection of gourmet goods puts a spotlight on treats locally made in Arizona, including such diverse items as bulk Medjool dates (starting at $8.95 a pound), Arizona mesquite honey ($6.25 for a one-pound jar), and the butter peanut-brittle royal-red gift box ($12). Featuring the best of the store's selection, the Sphinx Ranch Gourmet Gift Market's gift baskets will mend all the wounds caused by an outburst at the last company potato-sack-race outing. For gifts to those outside of Arizona, the available in-store shipping center will take that gift off your hands and ship it anywhere throughout the United States, Canada, Europe, and Middle Earth (this Groupon cannot be used toward shipping).

Langley's Country Market’s staff members believe that healthful living starts at home. With that in mind, they stock the shelves with local goods and produce sourced from ecologically conscious farms. Their pesticide-free fruits and vegetables come from sites that employ sustainable farming practices, such as water-conserving irrigation technology and organic waste-recycling systems that create natural compost. Additionally, the market features gourmet oils from Queen Creek Olive Mill, grass-fed beef, and honey from the desert’s rows and rows of honey derricks.

In 1984, Sunshine Convenience Mart founder Harry Fong established his business on the pillars of friendly service and speedy, convenient access. Today, the store is minded by Harry's son, Chris, whose head is full of memories of his father awakening him at the crack of dawn to get ready for work. Guests can ogle the well-stocked shelves brimming with domestic and imported microbrews, liquors, and snacks, or pull up to the handy drive-thru window to pick up cups, soda, and ice without leaving their car or dismounting their hovercraft.
