There are four different "natural" supermarkets in the Phoenix area:
Whole Foods, Wild Oats, Sprouts Farmers Market, and Henry's Farmers Market.

Whole Foods and Wild Oats are basically compariable; trendy and leaning
toward old well-to-do hippies and young urban professionals.

Henry's is a notch lower, more bulk foods, less variety, maybe a tad
lower prices, smaller stores.

The Sprouts that I've been to here was a notch lower than that. Maybe a
bit larger store size, even less variety on the shelves, but maybe a bit
more variety in the produce and bulk foods bins.

Depending upon where you live and what you have available to you,
Sprouts is probably more than adequate.
