The last time Market Basket was featured here was eight years ago.
I was a Market Basket customer for ten years, until moving almost 25 years ago. The supermarket’s slogan, frequently announced in the store, was “More For Your Dollar,” but pronounced as written in the title.
I once caught a Market Basket employee tearing off the label from a cut of meat on its expiration date and replacing it with a new label. When the store stopped carrying a favorite variety of frozen yogurt, my wife was told Kemps stopped making it. She called Kemps and was told, “Yes, but we stopped making that flavor several years ago! Where were you buying it?”
One of my sisters has been a Market Basket customer for much longer than I was, and she says the stores have been very good for a long time. I wonder if that was thanks to the leadership of Artie T.? Perhaps the answer is in this documentary.
