Seafood City Provides Opening Update for Chandler Fashion Center

Seafood City Supermarket, one of the most anticipated new additions to Chandler Fashion Center, is still moving forward, with the latest reports pointing to an expected opening in early spring 2026. This location will mark Seafood City’s first store in Arizona, making it a major milestone for the brand and a big win for food lovers across the East Valley.

Seafood City is best known as a full-service international grocery store with a strong focus on fresh seafood, quality meats, and Asian and Filipino specialty items. The Chandler location is expected to follow the company’s popular format seen in other states, offering a wide selection of fresh and live seafood, full-service meat and seafood counters, and hard-to-find ingredients used in traditional Filipino and Asian cuisine.

Beyond groceries, Seafood City locations typically feature hot food stations and an in-store food hall, where customers can enjoy ready-to-eat meals such as grilled meats, roasted specialties, and classic comfort dishes. Many shoppers treat Seafood City as both a grocery stop and a dining destination, making it a unique addition to the mall.

The store will also offer fresh produce, baked goods, and convenient prepared meals, creating a one-stop shopping experience that blends everyday essentials with specialty offerings. Its arrival aligns with Chandler Fashion Center’s broader effort to attract diverse, experience-driven tenants and expand beyond traditional retail.

While an exact grand opening date has not yet been announced, the early spring 2026 timeline gives shoppers something to look forward to as construction and planning continue. Once open, Seafood City is expected to draw visitors from across Chandler, Gilbert, Mesa, and the greater Phoenix metro area.

More updates are expected as the opening gets closer, and Seafood City’s debut will likely be one of the most talked-about retail launches in Chandler when doors finally open.
