In the end:They were joined by loyal customers at protest rallies—leaving stores empty.Suppliers and vendors stopped deliveries—rendering shelves bare.Politicians were forced to take sides.Set against a backdrop of bad blood and corporate greed, We Are Market Basket is a page-turner that chronicles the epic rise, fall, and redemption of this iconic and uniquely American company.Note: There are links to media content within the text of this EBook which may not work on all reading devices.
