The grocery store, which opened more than 37 years ago, recently underwent a complete remodel. To celebrate, the first 250 guests who visit the store on Wednesday, June 12 (the store opens at 6 am) will receive a free reusable Bashas’ bag filled with goodies with purchase.

Additionally, between 9 a.m. and noon, guests can enjoy free food sampling throughout the store, including at the in-store Starbucks Café, along with access to a health coach who can answer food-related health questions and offer healthy tips and snacks. Liquor vendors will be on-site to engrave purchased liquor bottles for Father’s Day.
