Market Basket is one of the things I miss most since coming so far north. The nearest one to me is in Tilton NH, almost 2 hours away and I so looked forward to any opportunity to shop there.
This is all very sad as I think the company is now ruined. I think Arthur T, the good guy, felt he was rich enough and was happy to run the company with low prices and happy employees, and that his greedier cousins, who seem to have the more common human trait of never being rich enough, effected a hostile takeover of the company to posture it for a lucrative sellout to a larger corporation.
I'm in awe of the employees who went on strike in a quest to reinstate Arthur T. as CEO! |
