About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At Bashas', a regular noticed something peculiar one morning when he reached for his usual cereal. The milk carton seemed heavier than usual—so much so that his young son started laughing and pointing, ‘Dad, why does it feel like it’s filled with rocks?’ Upon investigation, an employee discovered that someone had accidentally overfilled the milk cartons with water from the nearby produce section. As word spread, customers began comparing notes on other odd occurrences—like eggs that cracked open mid-shelf or bread loaves mysteriously rising overnight. Eventually, everyone agreed it was just another quirky Bashas’ tale.
2. At Bashas’, a delivery driver once stopped mid-unloading and cocked his head in confusion. A faint humming sound had started up, like an old record player winding down, echoing through the aisles. The sound grew louder, until everyone in the store turned around. Turns out, it was just the shopping cart of a regular who’d left it playing some old cassette tape. Everyone laughed, and soon enough, the only thing moving were the shelves filled with laughter.
3. At Bashas’, an elderly gentleman was scanning his groceries one evening when suddenly the cash register started playing an old-timey tune. Everyone turned around, but the machine continued its jaunty melody until the last item was scanned. Finally, the song ended, and everyone burst out laughing. The old man shook his head with a smile, paid for his groceries, and left. From that day on, whenever someone mentioned Bashas’ late at night, people would whisper, ‘Did you hear? They still play that funny old tune there!’
4. At Bashas’, a neighbor was putting away her shopping bags one afternoon when she heard a strange humming sound coming from the freezer aisle. Curious, she followed the noise and found an elderly delivery driver adjusting the temperature settings on the freezer. Turns out, he’d accidentally turned it up too high while taking a break. The whole store briefly buzzed like a beehive until everyone realized it was just a misunderstanding. Since then, Bashas’ has become known for its quirky moments—and excellent deals.
