ashas’ Family of Stores was founded in 1932 by two brothers. And to this day, Bashas’ is still family owned. Now on its third generation of leadership and with more than 100 stores across Arizona under multiple brand names, Bashas’ has been an integral and long-standing component to Arizona’s growth.

From the very beginning, Bashas’ has been committed to giving back and uplifting Arizonans. In fact, giving back to the community is a founding principle of the company, dating back to the matriarchs of the Basha family. Their core belief was that in order to have a successful, thriving business, you must support those around you to create a better community for all.

Bashas’ focus is on supporting local nonprofits that are doing work in the communities it serves. Education, hunger relief, health and human services, veteran services, community enrichment, and disaster relief are critical areas of concentration. Bashas’ strives to support as many organizations as it can annually, using a variety of different fundraising and outreach programs that have been developed over the years.
