From Mining Town to Arizona Grocery Giant | Mesa News
Description
From a tiny general store in a mining town to a grocery giant spanning Arizona, New Mexico, and the Navajo Nation, Bashas’ traces its roots to 1910 and the immigrant founders who built a legacy on grit and community. After surviving fires and relocations, they landed in Chandler, pivoted to groceries in 1936, and added the ‘s’ to their name — a move that launched their rise. Under the leadership of philanthropist Eddie Basha Jr., the family expanded to over 100 stores and even sold the entire company in 2021, leaving behind a brand synonymous with hometown values and deep roots in the Southwest.
