| - I love this Basha's. There is a large, clean parking lot. The carts are always collected and amply available. The store interior is always clean. The products are always stocked and available.
I love that Basha's is a local franchise. While some prices may be higher, and other older stores (like AJ) are horrible, the newer stores are fantastic. There are a great amount of vegetarian and vegan products, including non-cheeses, veganaise, non-dairy spreads, burritos, gluten-free baked goods, and so much more. The produce department is pleasing and full of great-looking produce. There is even a small produce cart for kids, giving them a free healthy snack. This, paired with kids' carts and the scavenger hunts for prizes, is sure to keep your kids from misbehaving while in the store. I don't have young kids, but I was one once. My mom had her share of "you wait until we get home", "you're never coming with me again" and even down-low swats. She'd give us a pile of coupons and send us to find everything. I digress.
This Basha's has a Starbucks, which is great, since I always seem to shop while hungry. The employees at the Starbucks and at the registers, in the produce department and in the meat department are very kind and jovial. They seem to really like their jobs (or are really good at faking it). I also appreciate being able to donate at the register to local charity efforts, while not being constantly sold on donating. The baggers always have done a great job for me as well.
Speaking of local, there are also tons of local gifts scattered throughout the store. They carry Chompie's baked goods, and now have Rango honeys and bee pollen. I have picked up Cardinals water bottles, artisan soaps, greeting and gift cards, books, and a hat or two at this store. I love getting little gifts and things while I get my groceries. Mostly because I don't have to do extra "peopleing".
If you don't do online shopping, or if you need a quick few things, stop in to this, or a new Basha's.
