Market Basket isn't a significantly better grocery store than the other regional store chains. But it is a family-own business that treats their employees and customers well, and it has a pretty good inventory overall.

But the big thing for me was back in 2015 when greedy members of the Demoulas family tried to take over and screw employees with reduced pay/benefits in the process, employees went on strike with the full support of loyal customers. We boycotted the place and some even joined the picket lines. Some truckers and suppliers loyal to the CEO also contributed, gumming up the supply chain to stores. It was a remarkable thing to experience. And justice was restored.
