"Unfortunately, the answer is no. Unless you're a member of the crew or a competitor on the show, Guy's Flavortown Market is not open for public shopping, but it technically is a real grocery store. Everything you see on TV - every canned good and packaged meat and container of pickle salt (one of the ingredients that Guy Fieri swears by) - can be picked up and used by competitors, making it a real grocery store. The market receives actual shipments from third-party vendors and is manned full-time by a staff who ensures that the aisles are fully stocked."
"When he's not on the road filming "Diners, Dives, and Drive-Ins" or making cameos in the DC comic universe, Guy Fieri is in Santa Rosa, California filming "Guy's Grocery Games" at the Guy's Flavortown Market set built inside a 15,500-square-foot warehouse. The first season of "Guy's Grocery Games" was filmed at Field's Market, an independent grocery store in California that is well known as a hotspot for filming, but from season two onward the show was filmed on a set."
Guy's Flavortown Market operates as a functioning grocery store set inside a 15,500-square-foot warehouse in Santa Rosa, California. The set is stocked with real products that receive shipments from third-party vendors and are available for competitors to pick up during filming. The market is manned full-time by staff who keep aisles fully stocked. The show filmed its first season at Field's Market, then moved to the custom-built set from season two onward. The set features brighter lighting, wider aisles, and price tags on items to mirror a real shopping environment while addressing food expiration and waste concerns.
