On July 12, Bashas’ Supermarket celebrated its 90th anniversary. It is a family-owned and operated grocery store business in Arizona.
To commemorate its anniversary, it decided to make the world’s largest mosaic, utilising 14,400 doughnuts. This accomplishment required 48,160 pounds of icing and a crew of more than 50 individuals.
Locals watched the logo come to life at Basha High School in Chandler, Arizona. The logo required more than four hours to complete.

The event was overseen by judges from Guinness World Records, who later presented the supermarket chain with a certificate for creating the “biggest doughnut mosaic (logo).”
