The take-away from this great story is that employees need to be picking their owners and CEOs, not the other way around.
It’s a business model I hope catches on all through the world of retail. Where the rubber meets the road - employees and shoppers - is where profitability and loyalty lie, not some accountants and raiders who could care less about the intimacy of grocery retailing.
The recipe for success being: BUY your company, don’t UNIONIZE it to get what you want.
Pick their owners?
They’re 100 years too late to do that.

I don’t think the family will be selling though.
