Cider doughnuts, packed aisles, and a dash of family drama—Market Basket is more than just a grocery store for New Englanders. The recent shakeup with CEO Artie T. Demoulas and the ousting of longtime execs has sparked passionate debates, both in-store and online. But it’s the unbeatable prices, friendly staff, and old-school touches (no self-checkout here!) that keep folks fiercely loyal. For many, shopping at Market Basket feels like being part of a big, quirky family. With mediation on the horizon, everyone’s hoping the store’s unique vibe—and those legendary doughnuts—stick around. What makes you loyal to your favorite local spot? #Food #MarketBasket #NewEngland
