From its exquisite “floral boutique” to its robust seasonal displays to its freshly misted wet rack, this AJ's Fine Foods in Scottsdale, Ariz., is retail theater at its finest.
I visited this store in September and was immediately greeted by seasonal displays designed to make shoppers fall for autumn's bounty.
Apples were in-store in a big way — temptingly cross-merchandised with caramel for dipping.
With its pretty palette, beautiful blooms and mood lighting, the floral department looks dressed to host an in-store wedding.
The produce department at AJ's tells a story through color, texture and freshness.
Organic produce is clearly marked and smartly displayed in its own section.
