Big Country Market — Local services in Paulden

What a great store and surprisingly good selection! The isles were very well organized and stocked. How amazing to have a grocery store in such a small community to save driving to Chino or Prescott. I grew up in Paulden and would have loved to have been able to get these grocery items locally and as a bonus, tax free on food! It was wonderful to visit and shop in such an amazing addition to this community!! Their canned fruit has more variety than my new home town Walmart. I especially loved the selection of items, specifically Grandma Sycamore's bread, which is the best bread on the shelf, as it tastes just like homemade bread!! Their spice collection is incredible! The spices are in huge containers and at a great price! Great sales and good prices on bagels. Pineapples were on sale for .99 cents! The cashier was very friendly. At the checkout is some of the yummiest chocolate I've tasted- so soft and melt in your mouth- Utah truffles....

They are much more like an actual grocery store. The only thing I would wish for is to expand the meat section for chicken, steaks and other meats. They do have a meat counter but not many steaks and not much chicken at all. Otherwise, so great to have nearby!

I love that this grocery store is in Paulden and convenient. I think they carry a bit too many of the same snack items and things that the dollar store right next to them carries, though. It's hard to complete with their prices. The staff is always...

Great local store with Awesome staff and most of what you could need!

I do wish they would keep with fresher produce though. My biggest complaint is their hours. WHY WOULD YOU BE CLOSED ON SUNDAY? That would be one of your busiest days, For being in a town with only 2 other places to shop which are super limited to begin with, why would you hurt your own business and not be open and there for the community you serve. That is the biggest flaw with small business in small towns. Maybe reevaluate your overhead expenses and understand how much the weekend could mean to the store and the community. People still need to eat on...
