Arizona grocery stores open for 24/7 shopping

Night owls in Arizona have a few options if they need to grab groceries or stock their shelves while the sun is down.
None of the major grocery chains in the Phoenix area, such as Fry’s, Safeway or Walmart are open 24 hours.
WinCo Foods, QuikTrip and some pharmacies are a few of the options that are open 24 hours.

Late-night Arizona shoppers have limited options if they want to shop outside of regular business hours.

In March 2020, local grocers like Fry’s, Albertsons, Safeway and Bashas’ changed their hours as a result of the coronavirus pandemic, with most opening later and closing earlier.

Before then, some stores like Walmart were open 24 hours.

But night owls in Arizona still have a few options left if they need to grab groceries or stock their shelves while the sun is down.

Here’s a look at 24 hours stores still left in Arizona.
