Sharing a Passion for Fresh Fruits, Vegetables at The Produce Only Market

The Produce Only Market (TPOM) is described as a traditional produce department that you’d find in any big box supermarket, with the addition of a sit-down, all-natural smoothie bar.

The market offers a full line of organic, conventional and many exotics, in addition to a sizeable assortment of dried fruits and nuts. What distinguishes TPOM from other produce departments is that the team has more than 50 years of experience in the produce industry and knows the highest quality fruits and vegetables – and more importantly which ones taste the best (particularly fruits).

Although we understand we can’t control what Mother Nature produces, we know when and what varieties of fruits and vegetables are more inclined to provide a better flavor profile. For example, summer is a perfect time to enjoy Bing and Rainier cherries, and we always order the largest sizes and highest color available, which tend to be the sweetest tasting fruit. Stop in to try a sample!

The market has a demonstration table that we use on a daily basis, where we cut up and offer a taste of the different produce, from the traditional to the exotic. We are happy to have customers taste test any produce they’d like prior to purchasing.

As you can probably tell, we are passionate about bringing the Quad Cities area great produce at a great value. Our daily social media posts (Facebook and Instagram) and radio spots (Magic 99.1, Arizona Hope 103.9, KYCA 103.5 FM or 1490 AM, Fun Oldies 1450, and KQNA 1130) keep our customers up to date on what’s available at an excellent price so you don’t have to guess.  And, as you would expect, the smoothie bar uses only the highest quality ingredients (with no added sugar) and has some of the tastiest as well as healthiest smoothies in all of Northern Arizona.

We are very excited about creating a cornerstone community produce store in downtown Prescott. TPOM is located at 405 W. Goodwin St., just two blocks west of the courthouse, in the building previously occupied by the Liquor Barn. We signed the lease for the building in 2021 and after nearly two years of construction to remodel and expand the space, we were thrilled to celebrate our grand opening on March 30 with the Prescott Chamber of Commerce and the business community.

In addition, if you sign up for the loyalty program, you automatically receive 5% off on any purchase store wide every time you shop! Also, seniors enjoy a special 15% discount every Tuesday (not just once a month like the other stores). We also offer first responders a 10% discount, always!

The Produce Only Market and Smoothie Bar is open 9 a.m. to 7 p.m., Monday through Saturday. Our slogan is: Great Produce Great Value. Have you tried The Produce Only Market yet? QCBN
