ARIZONA & NEW MEXICO – In a continued effort to support the communities it serves, Bashas’ Family of Stores has introduced a new discount program for retired and active-duty military personnel, first responders, and their families. Starting Tuesday, Sept. 3, these groups will be eligible for a 10% discount on in-store purchases at Bashas’, Food City, AJ’s Fine Foods, Eddie’s Country Store, and Bashas’ Diné Markets. The discount will be available on the first Tuesday of each month and on key holidays such as Memorial Day, Independence Day, and Veterans Day.
“Our country’s military and first responders are heroes who risk their lives every day to protect our world and make it a better place,” said Steve Mayer, President of Bashas’ Family of Stores. “This special discount is a way to show our appreciation for their bravery, compassion, and resilience.”
The program is available to active-duty and retired military, veterans, and their household family members. First responders eligible for the discount include firefighters (including wildland firefighters with agencies like Arizona Department of Forestry and Fire Management, New Mexico Forestry Division, U.S. Forest Services, and more), law enforcement officers, sheriffs, paramedics, EMTs, and their families. To claim the discount, individuals need to present their military or first responder identification card. Members of Bashas’ loyalty programs, like Something Extra or Thank You, will automatically receive the discount once their military status is linked to their loyalty account.
This initiative is one of many ways Bashas’ Family of Stores is showing its commitment to community service. In addition to the discount program, the company is dedicated to addressing local hunger needs, advocating for wellness, and promoting sustainability. Their efforts also focus on child welfare, food system education, and food access.
