About
Bashas' has doubled in size in the last decade with stores under the Bashas' name, as well as AJ's Fine Foods, and Food City, bringing the total to more than 153 stores. The different formats enable the company to serve different "demographic neighborhoods" with the appropriate mixture of products and services to meet the needs of the customers. Bashas' stores are traditional grocery stores emphasizing quality goods and excellence in customer service, and reaching out to the immediate neighborhood customer base. AJ's Fine Foods stores are gourmet and specialty stores catering to discriminating tastes. The stores feature chef-prepared entrees, an extensive wine collection with knowledgeable cellar staff, specialty baked goods, and the highest levels of customer service and attention to details. Food City, with a 50-year reputation for service to the Hispanic community in Phoenix, was acquired by Bashas' in 1993 and continues its mission unchanged. Since acquiring the original Food City store, several Bashas' stores have been converted to this format to better meet the changing needs of their surrounding communities. Food City offers a full range of ethnic and Hispanic food varieties. Dine Markets, The Bashas' Dine Markets are located on Native American reservations throughout Arizona. They specialize in the needs of Navajo, Apache and Tohono O' odam customers with products such as Blue Bird flour for fry bread, mutton and wool. Signs in the store are in the native language. Commitment to service and this diversification has spelled continued growth and success for Bashas' even in the extremely competitive Arizona marketplace. Bashas' also has a state-of-the-art Distribution Center, located in Chandler, which includes over 16 acres of under-roof space, as well as a full mechanic shop. The perishables area of the Center is temperature- and climate-controlled and includes ripening rooms and areas that vary in temperature from a base temperature of 55 degrees year-round to freezer rooms of 10 degrees below zero. Community Involvement Being involved in the community is a way of life for Bashas'. It's a cornerstone of the foundation that was laid by the Basha family when the company was in its infancy. Being involved in the lives of people, providing assistance to those in need, and taking an active role in the events that were shaping the growing communities were all values and habits of the Bashas' founders. Their children and descendants have inherited a passion for making the world a better place, especially when it comes to the state of Arizona. The concept is modeled from the highest levels of the company on down, and individual Bashas' members contribute countless hours each year to volunteer work, advisory boards, in-school programs like Junior Achievement and other educational projects, and even elected positions in their communities. Shop & Give Bashas’ Shop & Give program (previously the Thanks A Million Program), allows customers to shop for groceries as usual, and Bashas’ will give 1% of their shopping dollars to the local school, church or nonprofit of their choice. Since its inception, this fundraiser has given more than $5 million worth of equipment to schools. The program now gives up to $5,000 to participating groups each year so they can use the funds for the items they need most. BASHAS' BENEFIT GOLF CLASSIC Held each Spring, the tournament (which began in 1982) has contributed more than $2 million to local charities, now averaging $200,000 each year in the course of the 3-day event. ANNUAL FOOD DRIVE Each year, Bashas' partners with its customers to raise donations for food banks all over Arizona. Customers contribute and Bashas' matches the donations pound-for-pound, up to 200,000 pounds. Since 1991, our customers have contributed more than half a million pounds of food, every one of which was matched and donated to a local food bank by Bashas'. HEALTHSTYLES Our nationally recognized HealthStyles program (first-place winner of the 1994 Quaker Oats Healthy Dialogues award program) brings health and human services right to the convenient and familiar environment of the grocery store, encouraging many people to take a more active role in their own health. Services have included nutritional supermarket tours, blood work, hearing and vision testing, Mobile Onsite Mammography units, flu shots and other immunization, and many health information opportunities. More than 400,000 people have been served by HealthStyles clinics in Bashas' stores all over Arizona. ENVIRONMENTAL PROGRAMS Bashas' has always maintained an environmental emphasis, recycling tons of cardboard, paper, plastic and aluminum, as well as working with many organizations to assist in the educational process to help all of Arizona become more ecologically aware and active through recyclathons, public-service messages, sponsorships and other activities. WHO WE ARE It is impossible to list all the ways Bashas' and its members work with the communities in which we have stores. Support of education, the arts, assistance to the hungry and others in need ... the list goes on and on. One thing definitively can be said, however: Without personal involvement in myriad organizations to which Bashas' members give time, energy and expertise, and to which Bashas' frequently contributes funding, our community involvement would be nothing more than a line item in a budget. Instead, it is a direct line to understanding the heart of what makes Bashas' strong and vital today, our members, and their commitment to carrying on the principles set down by our founders. We are a product of our history, and it is this which will enable us to continue our pattern of success.
