New Empire Food Market

Love this place. I know there are some reviews that say they should expand their hours but honestly I don't think it's a huge problem. They're open 11 hours a day. Sure, no late nights and they close early on Sundays but I don't see an issue with this, they're a family run store not a national chain. I love the Lee family. Just moved to Tucson a couple months ago and they've been wonderful every time I've gone in. I use a blind cane and they've always been super polite and accommodating. I live about two blocks away and I think the selection is great, will definitely be a regular!

Decent selection, a little bit of everything. Their prices are not rock bottom but very reasonable compared to Co-op or Johnny Gibsons. The shop is clean and well kept, the owner is friendly. Good spot and I hope it sticks around

Excellent product variety, competitive prices and kind and thoughtful service provide by family employees! 10/10 would recommend! As a resident of the iron horse neighborhood I am so grateful for their continued service and strong sense of community! Ms. Lee and her son Melvin go above and beyond to help customers and to provide a joyful shopping experience.

I grew up just down the street from empire market, and have always loved stopping by there to pick up the odd necessity, every now and then, you'll find something here that you didn't know you needed until you find it. The stores owner, and her son are just some of the most amazing people. And they keep the store very clean and tidy.

We walked in there it was awesome wood floors , Art, old school store not to many left. Stop by enjoy blast from the pass. I'm from Barrio hoyo . Back on the day Elysian Grove market. The Lady that helped us has alot of history . Stop by spend so time talk to her. Enjoy I sure did

Im just more comfortable in the stores that's been in the neighborhoods in Tucson for years like the little mom and pop stops I love those joints because most of the time the people who work there are other people who own it so you get to know them and me and the lady who works there how to a good laugh together even though we're from two different cultures and ethnicities

Great place within walking distance and convenient. Owner and everyone there are really nice!!

Great local grocery store, they seem to have everything you could need.

Integral part of our neighborhood. ....good folks who are really nice and I always walk out laughing or smiling

Mel and Mr. Lee are awesome I used to live down the road. even did some work for the place

I have been going to this place for as long as I could remember. Great people, good prices, and convenient location.

Friendly, no-nonsense, old school grocer. If they ain't got it, you don't need it.
