Where to Buy Presidential in Arizona

Close to four in five of Presidential's Arizona retailers are here.

Fourteen cities across Maricopa and Pinal counties, with Phoenix carrying the largest share and Mesa, Glendale, Tempe, Chandler and Scottsdale behind it. Beyond those, single shops in Apache Junction, Cave Creek, Coolidge, Gilbert, Peoria, Queen Creek, Sun City and Youngtown.

This is the Sonoran Desert, and it is the only place on earth the saguaro grows. A mature one runs forty feet and two hundred years. Camelback and Piestewa Peak rise out of the middle of the metro; South Mountain is one of the largest municipal parks in the country. The Superstition Mountains close the eastern edge.

The Valley of the Sun is one continuous metro across two counties, which is why the retail spread runs to fourteen cities without ever really leaving town. It also runs on a season most states do not have — the population swells from November through April and thins out through the summer.

The other Arizona.

Tucson sits at twenty-four hundred feet in a valley ringed by five mountain ranges, and the road up Mount Lemmon climbs to nine thousand feet in under an hour — the ecological equivalent of driving from Mexico to Canada. Saguaro National Park brackets the city on both sides. Kitt Peak's observatories sit west, in some of the clearest night skies in North America.

South and east the country runs to Bisbee, Tombstone and the sky islands — mountain ranges rising out of desert like an archipelago, each one carrying species found nowhere else.

Presidential's southern Arizona retail is concentrated entirely in Tucson, which holds roughly one in nine of the state's shops carrying the brand.

Tucson is a university town, a food town — the first UNESCO City of Gastronomy in the United States — and a market that behaves nothing like Phoenix two hours north.

Three official regions, combined here, covering the most spectacular country in the state and the smallest share of the retail network.

Northern Arizona is the Colorado Plateau — the Grand Canyon, Flagstaff at seven thousand feet under the San Francisco Peaks, Monument Valley on the Navajo Nation, and the Petrified Forest.

North Central is the red rock country: Sedona's sandstone formations, Oak Creek Canyon, Jerome clinging to Cleopatra Hill, and Prescott, which was the territorial capital.

The West Coast region follows the Colorado River — Lake Havasu City, where London Bridge was rebuilt stone by stone in 1971, and Yuma, which is the sunniest place on earth.

Together these three hold roughly one in ten of Arizona's Presidential retailers across four towns — Flagstaff, Sedona, Prescott and Lake Havasu City.
