Bashas'
Bashas' is a grocery store chain, primarily located in Arizona, with two locations outside the state in Crownpoint, New Mexico, and Shiprock, New Mexico. Its headquarters are in Chandler. As of December 15, 2021, Bashas' is owned and operated by the Raley family via Raley's Supermarkets.
Najeeb Basha immigrated to the United States from Lebanon in 1886; he and his wife Najeeby moved to Arizona in 1910, two years before Arizona statehood. The family struggled for years in retail sales in the Arizona mining towns of Ray and Sonora, facing numerous setbacks, but remained determined to succeed. The first store to officially incorporate the Bashas' name opened in 1932 in Goodyear, Arizona, as a company store. Employees of J. G. Boswell could purchase groceries with company scrip. Bashas' was founded by Najeeb and Najeeby's sons, Ike Basha and Eddie Basha, Sr.
Bashas' acquired Megafoods stores in Arizona in 1996.
On July 12, 2009, Bashas' filed for bankruptcy protection under Chapter 11, citing the weak economy, increased competition, and their ongoing legal fight with the UFCW union. In doing so, the company planned to close ten under-performing Bashas' and Food City stores. The company emerged from bankruptcy in late 2010. The Chapter 11 plan provided for payment in full of all creditors.
Upon the death of Eddie Sr., leadership was taken over by Eddie Basha, Jr. Eddie Jr. died in March 2013, and the CEO is now Eddie Jr.'s son, Eddie Basha III.
In March 2014 Bashas' named Edward Basha III, president, CEO and chairman of the board. Darl Andersen, who had been president and CEO, will assume the role of executive adviser to the president and chairman. Edward Basha III was formerly vice president, retail operations. Robert Ortiz will assume the role of senior vice president, operations. Ortiz was previously vice president, sales and marketing, and will be succeeded by Jim Vaughan with the title of senior vice president, procurement and marketing. He had been president of the Super Saver group of stores. In addition, Don Ulrich was named executive chief operating officer.
In March 2017, Bashas' partnered with Instacart.
On December 15, 2021, Raley family via Raley's Supermarkets purchased the company from the Basha family, promising to keep the formats and store names the same.
