A year or two ago, I discovered Bashas' through a national publication's list of "Best Regional Grocery Store Chains." Founded by Lebanese immigrants, Bashas' now boasts a family of over 150 grocery stores and specialty markets in Arizona, New Mexico, and on the Navajo Nation. As a Southern Nevada resident, this Kingman location was the closest to me, so I bookmarked it and finally visited earlier today. Here are some highlights: CUSTOMER SERVICE: I was greeted warmly by multiple store employees, and the overall customer service was impressive. AMBIANCE: The store was clean, easy to navigate, and unfussy. Upon arrival, I beelined to the produce, deli, bakery, and specialty items section. The bakery was bustling with activity, and I later discovered through the Phoenix subreddit that Bashas' is renowned for its baked goods. FOOD SELECTION: My primary focus was on Bashas' unique snacks and store brand items. I was particularly surprised to find muscadine jelly, a staple from my childhood in the Southeast. Additionally, I noticed several Bashas' store brand items on sale or at very reasonable prices, such as honey roasted peanuts priced at two for $5. I bought a few to assess their quality and determine if I'll be a repeat customer. read more
