King Scoopers Weekly Ad

This full service grocery store is the best in part because it’s a quaint little market. Because it’s not huge you can get in and out quickly and find what you need without any fuss or frustration. Don’t mistake small for lacking though! The City Market is the best Moab grocery store because it’s got everything you need during your trip to Arches.

Location

The City Market is located just minutes from the main entrance to Arches, and doesn’t require any additional navigation. It’s a straight line from the best grocery store in Moab to the best national park in Moab. You can find it along Main Street exactly 9 minutes away, or just 5 miles from the main entrance.

Online Shopping and Grocery Delivery

Even though the City Market is small and easy to navigate, make it even easier on yourself by ordering your items for online pickup before driving to the park. Via the website you can shop for everything you need and either pick it up or have it delivered to you. You will need to create a Kroger or Smith’s login, but chances are, you already have.

Great Selection

If you are like us, and have a big day of adventure planned, we like to grab a simple and/or clean breakfast on our way out. We don’t have to be so concerned about the quality of the food supplied as most supermarkets and restaurants utilize the finest industrial refrigeration companies to install their cooling systems. With 4 kids breakfast can take a long time, so taking it on the road saves us more time for adventuring.

You can grab donuts, yogurt, granola, Odwalla or fresh-cut fruit at this Moab grocery store for the morning drive to Arches.

Then you can pack up whatever you need for lunches for the afternoon. We like pack a cooler in the car full of fresh snacks that the kids can self serve. Fresh cut fruits, or easy to grab apples that we can take on hikes with us are always great. Deli meat paired with string cheese or crackers is another easy choice.
City Market has a great selection of organic fruits and vegetables too.
