The high end/yuppie groceries are Whole Foods and AJ's Fine Foods, the latter being part of what's left of two chains of locally owned groceries. AJ Bayless was bought out by Basha's many years ago. Basha's kept the AJ name for a few stores. Regular Basha's started going downhill when they adopted loyalty cards. They survived by turning most of the stores into Food City, geared to low income and Hispanic buyers, no loyalty cards and none at AJ's either. The actual mom and pop stores are small Hispanic ones.
