Our Commitment to Your Health & Well-Being
Effective Monday July 27th, Facemasks will be required
Effective Monday, July 27th, all Bashas’ Family of Stores locations will require customers to wear a facemask or covering while shopping with us. This is for the protection of our customers as well as our members (i.e. employees) and expands on the nearly 90% of our stores that already require coverings due to a local mask mandate in place. While public opinion on masks vary, we will continue to follow guidance from the Center for Disease Control and Prevention that face coverings play an important role in slowing the spread of COVID-19.
All of our store members, as well as vendor partners have been wearing masks as part of company policy for some time. We will offer complimentary disposable masks while supplies last and have masks and shields available for purchase in store.
“We ask, and appreciate, our customers support, compliance and kindness towards our members (i.e. employees) and fellow shoppers while in our stores,” says Edward Basha, president & CEO of Bashas’ Family of Stores. “As Arizona’s Hometown Grocer the health and safety of our community is paramount and we are committed to doing our part to help slow the spread and know that it will take all of us coming together to get through these challenging times.”
What you can expect:
- All store team members and vendor wearing masks or face coverings
- Signage at the entrances/exits reminding customers of the mask mandate
- Signage on the windows educating customers about the risk reduction when wearing a mask
- Overhead announcements reminding shoppers to socially distance and the importance of masks
