Seafood City, a large Filipino grocery store, opened its doors in Chandler on July 30. The expansive 66,000-square-foot store offers a wide selection of products from the Philippines, Japan, China, Thailand, Vietnam, and Korea, alongside seafood and cookware. This location aims to serve Arizona's growing population, particularly within the greater Phoenix area.
The grand opening attracted significant crowds, with customers queuing overnight, reminiscent of a Black Friday event. The store features a substantial food hall, the largest among all Seafood City locations, boasting seven unique eateries. These include Grill City for grilled items, Slurp Alley for hotpots and dumplings, Sizzle for Filipino dishes like sisig, and Crispy Town for fried delicacies.
Additional dining options in the food hall include Bakers Avenue for Filipino cakes and bread, Yelo Yelo for desserts like halo halo, and Kakanin Korner for Filipino rice cakes. Upcoming concepts slated to open include Valerio (a Filipino bakery), Crab Market (serving seafood), and Kultura (offering Filipino-inspired comfort food). The food hall can accommodate 300 people and operates daily.
