The Bashas' grocery store chain has laid off about 100 workers at its administrative offices, citing rising costs, a slowing economy and the need to streamline operations.
The layoffs announced Friday amount to less than one percent of the company's workforce of more than 13,000. Affected workers will receive a severance package and have been put on a preferential hiring list for open positions.
President and Chief Operating Officer Mike Proulx says local businesses are facing a challenging time and Bashas' is no different.
Privately owned Bashas' operates more than 160 stores across Arizona and is the eighth-largest employer in the state.
There's no recession is there George! Come on!
