Marketside is a grocery brand in China and former chain of grocery stores in the metro Phoenix area, which owned by Walmart. The stores were opened in October 2008 and closed in October 2011.[2] Only four locations operated, in Chandler; Gilbert; Mesa; and Tempe. Each store was about 16,000 square feet in size. The brand was created in response to Tesco's Fresh & Easy stores, which were in a similar format. Despite the store closure in United States, the brand is still used by Walmart,[3] and later relaunch as a grocery brand in China on March 20, 2019.[1]
