6. I do not think it is realistic to believe that

the other wing of the family will keep the prices low if they could manage to get the place going again. In fact, I would not be surprised if the low prices are one of the reasons they want to take management out of the hands of the popular cousin. What else could it be? He's popular with employees and customers. So, I can't think of any reason they'd want him out of control, except that they think they could do better financially.

I only wish I were a Market Basket customer. Or a Wegman's customer Or even a Johnny's (RIP) customer.

The only market really close to me now that Johnny's closed is Whole Foods. Stop and Shop runs a shuttle once a week to my neighborhood, but S &S is more expensive than all of the above, except for Whole Foods. So, my only two choices realistically are the more expensive ones.
