Suffering from Market Basket overload? Too much bland soap-opera reporting that doesn’t add much to what you already know, i.e. that the Demoulas family running the beloved supermarket chain is profoundly dysfunctional? I’m with you. My eyes glaze over most Market Basket stories these days. But … but I do recommend reading Larry Edelman’s recent Globe piece on the Market Basket controversy. It’s a good primer on the family feud that’s slowly tearing apart Market Basket – and it provides new information about how and when the most recent battlelines were drawn between the “ticked-off sisters” and the “imperious CEO.” …

… My own conclusions: 1.) Arthur T. Demoulas is admirably a true believer in his “all stakeholders” approach to governing the company 2.) he’s his own worst enemy when it comes to corporate-suite diplomacy 3.) the Demoulas sisters brought in the PE/M&A/CRE reinforcements for a reason – and it wasn’t to enhance the company’s “all stakeholders” programs.
