Default Market Basket

I for one like the Market Basket in Tilton. We buy "sales' from Hannaford and Shaws, but our major shopping is done in Tilton. They have the best fresh fish, and the meat selection is much better. More Variety.. ( It's the only place I've found Beef Short Ribs.. )

I'm from the Boston area and was alway aware of a "Family Feud" in the Demoulis family...

An excerpt from the above link.

"Despite having endured eight years of litigation already, in 1998 the two branches of the family seemed prepared to continue their legal and personal animosity indefinitely. From a tightly knit family in which business and personal matters overlapped broadly, relationships deteriorated to the point that the courts were forced to post Massachusetts State Police officers in the courtrooms during hearings. Mike Demoulas' branch portrayed George's children as worthless spendthrifts. George's branch in return was so angry that, according to the Boston Globe, when George's son Evan was killed in a car accident in 1993, Mike's family was informed by the attorneys for George's heirs--and told not to attend the funeral. Another of Mike and George's brothers, John, came to the wake and was refused entrance."

That aside.. I like Market Basket best.
