With over 120 stores throughout Arizona, Fry's Food Stores combines the strength of a storied retail brand with the extensive resources and innovative vision of Kroger, one of the largest supermarket chains in the United States.

Decorating cakes, pastries, cupcakes, cookies, and other bakery items is also a core responsibility, ensuring the bakery’s offerings not only taste delightful but are visually appealing as well. This role requires attention to detail, adherence to health and safety regulations, and collaboration with store management to maintain a clean, safe, and vibrant environment.

The company offers flexible scheduling in full- and part-time roles, allowing employees to balance work with life commitments effectively. More than just a job, working at Fry's means joining a family that supports your professional growth with industry-leading training programs, career pathways, and up to $21,000 in tuition reimbursement through the Continuing Education program.

Comprehensive benefits support the physical, emotional, and financial well-being of associates. These include affordable and comprehensive medical, dental, vision, and prescription coverage, free counseling through the Employee Assistance Program, confidential financial coaching, and associate discounts on a broad range of products and services. Fry's commitment extends beyond the store shelves to ensure that every team member has the resources and support needed to thrive both at work and in their personal lives.
