About Bashas' Family of Stores

Bashas' Family of Stores is an Arizona-based, family-owned and -operated grocer founded by brothers Ike and Eddie Basha, Sr. With more than 11,000 employees and 150 stores, it is the 8th-largest employer in the state and one of the Best Places to Work in Arizona. Since the company's inception in 1932, Bashas' has given back more than $100 million to the communities it serves. As part of a longstanding pledge to serve Arizona communities, the grocer is committed to conserving energy, water and fuel, in addition to recycling plastic bags, cardboard, grocery carts, bakery racks and other supplies - at the same time, the grocer regularly invites shoppers to join in the efforts. As a result, the grocer recycles more than 25,000 tons of cardboard and plastic materials every year; conserves enough energy annually to power 7,500 homes; and uses a fuel-efficient program to eliminate 1,775 tons of CO2 emissions annually from its fleet of trucks, a reduction equivalent to removing 1/3 of its trucks from the road.

Wash water is recycled and reused, and manure is dried, ground, and turned into high quality fertilizer. The company believes in supporting the community and contributes to a variety of efforts and causes, including Homeward Bound, Arizona Farm Bureau's Ag-Day, the Glendale Historical Society, the Heard Museum, and many local fairs and rodeos.
