Bashas’ Family of Stores this week celebrated the reopening of a Food City supermarket in Tucson. As part of the opening day festivities, shoppers enjoyed live performances from Mariachi singers, as well as a grocery bag giveaways, food samplings, and a variety of prize giveaways including gift cards, kitchen appliances, and event tickets. The store also grilled chicken and green chiles outside.

We’re committed to delivering more grocery choices that bring convenience and value to family dinner tables in Arizona.”

At the newly remodeled store shoppers will notice:

An expanded bakery department, which features Mexican pastries along with signature cake flavors like piña colada, strawberry cream, cappuccino, chocolate delight, cookies and cream, and dulce de leche;
An expanded carnicería with an expanded seafood case and free meat marinades;
A larger seating area at the restaurant-style deli, offering an aguas frescas station and an expanded daily meal menu;
A relocated produce department featuring new produce racks, cases and tables for fresh fruits and vegetables;
A completely remerchandised store with an increased variety of food options;
Revamped liquor cases and a new, 12-ft. section featuring cold wine;

A new check cashing booth.

During the past three years, Bashas’ Family of Stores has remodeled a third of its stores, bringing a number of expanded offerings and services to the local communities it serves. Also on Jan. 10, the company reopened a renovated Bashas’ store in Phoenix.
