History
The company went through a bankruptcy in the late 1980s.[2] It was acquired by Bashas' in 1993.[3] Under Bashas' ownership, AJ's has positioned itself as an upscale gourmet and specialty grocery chain with each store located in affluent neighborhoods. The stores feature chef-prepared entrees, an extensive wine collection with trained cellar staff, and specialty baked goods.[citation needed]
Some locations in middle-class and blue-collar neighborhoods were converted to Bashas' Food City format.[3]
