Iconic 108-year-old grocery store chain embroiled in high-stakes drama (again!)
Grocery store chains often boast fiercely loyal customers. In many communities, it's akin to Coca-Cola versus Pepsi, McDonald's versus Burger King, or the Red Sox versus the Yankees. Winning over loyal customers like that is often hard-won. The supermarket business operates on razor-thin margins, and many rivals compete head-to-head, frequently operating locations within minutes of one another. For example, customers downright rave in Florida about Publix (and its famous rotisserie chicken) to just about everyone who will listen. Don't miss the move: Subscribe to TheStreet's free daily newsletter In New England, customers are so loyal to Market Basket that they boycotted stores in 2014 when the Board of Directors attempted to fire its long-time CEO, Arthur T. DeMoulas. Such support for a CEO is pretty rare today. Unfortunately, those efforts to reinstall Arthur T. in his role 11 years ago apparently haven't ended the drama, given Market Basket is facing yet another boardroom brawl. MediaNews Group/Boston Herald viaIn 2014, worker protests and customer boycotts forced the hands of Market Basket's board. This resulted in Arthur T. buying out his cousins, who were behind attempts to remove him because of his resistance to reducing staffing and modernizing the chain. The chain, founded in 1917 by Greek immigrants Athanasios and Efrosini Demoulas, is unique in that it remains family-owned over 100 years later. The company has come a long way from its humble beginnings in Lowell, Massachusetts, given revenue this year will reportedly exceed $7 billion. Related: 4 big changes Kroger has made in its grocery stores The company's growth has spawned a slate of public dust-ups between descendants of the original founding brothers, the most notable being the 2014 challenge to Arthur T's leadership. This time around, however, it's not a battle between cousins. In 2014, Arthur T. Demoulas's sisters supported him. This time, they're behind the attempted coup, which included placing Arthur T on paid suspension in May 2025 and firing key executives Joe Schmidt and Tom Gordon, seen as loyal to Demoulas, for insubordination in July. The board says these moves were necessary because Arthur T was resisting board oversight, and allegedly, attempting a work stoppage, while pushing for a succession plan with his children that appears to bypass board approval. Perhaps unsurprisingly, grocery stores employ many people, partly because they quickly turn over inventory on their shelves. Also unsurprisingly, workers often become a big reason behind customer loyalty, particularly in key departments such as customer-facing parts of the store, such as the bakery, deli, produce, or the front end. Many store workers are fiercely loyal to their employers because many have worked their entire careers for them, starting as baggers and climbing through the ranks to department heads, buyers, and store managers. Related: Popular supermarket chain liquidates favorite locations That's certainly true at Market Basket, where many workers within the 95-store chain helped organize the strike that saved Arthur T. DeMoulas' job as chief executive 11 years ago because they credited him for their success and, more broadly, the supermarket's family-oriented culture. The situation in 2014 was so unique in corporate America that it spawned multiple documentaries, including Food Fight: The Battle For Market Basket. This time around, some appear equally supportive. "What was once a culture grounded in mutual respect, integrity, and accountability has, in recent months, devolved into one defined by fear, hostility, and lack of direction," said Director of Advertising and Store Operations Supervisor Valerie Polito in a July 18 to the Board of Directors, according to CBS News. "This punitive atmosphere has created a chilling effect where many now fear speaking openly." Will Market Basket suffer strikes and a boycott again? There are whispers of employee unrest and boycotts reminiscent of 2014, but there's a chance that cooler heads may prevail this time around. Related: Major supermarket chain workers start strike across 4 cities The widespread strikes and boycotts in 2014 were very costly to Market Basket, with lost revenue and profit and potentially lost customers to rivals like Hannaford and Stop & Shop, major grocery chains that compete toe-to-toe with Market Basket in many places. According to BBC reporting, Market Basket lost $70 million per day at the peak of protests in 2014 before Arthur T bought out the stake in the company his supporters didn't control for $1.5 billion. The board, likely wanting to avoid a similar losses, has agreed to mediation with Arthur T Demoulas in September. Market Basket is one of the few large family-owned grocery stores out there. It's not as big as the family-owned powerhouses Wegmans or Meijer, but it's still a major player, so it's not surprising that the Demoulas' family is concerned about succession. More Retail Stocks: Troubled retailer files Chapter 11 bankruptcy, liquidates storesWayfair struggles to reverse concerning customer behaviorWalmart introduces mobile new store format for younger customers The risk, however, is that concessions in mediation or Arthur T's eventual ouster could jeopardize the very culture that has won it so many loyal shoppers. Unlike rivals Hannaford and Stop & Shop, Market Basket has resisted technology like self-checkout. It's common to find workers in white shifts and ties stocking and facing grocery shelves, ready to point customers in the right direction. It's also not rare to find every cash register open, with baggers at each station asking, "Paper or plastic?" -- something less and less common at competitors. Name tags proudly display the number of years of an employee's service, and it's not rare to find employees who have worked there for many years. Market Basket has also shunned costly renovations, preferring to maintain a nostalgic decor that harkens back many decades to simpler times, even for its new locations. Perhaps, because of this approach, the grocery store chain is widely considered to have some of the lowest prices in the region. Whether any of that changes remains to be seen, but for customers, the reasons behind their loyalty could be at stake, making the mediation in September key to whether or not workers go on strike or customers decide to boycott again to protect Arthur T's job.

The Social Security COLA Could Shortchange You In 2026
When the Bureau of Labor Statistics releases inflation numbers for July on Tuesday morning, August 12, the news is expected to be bad and will affect the Social Security COLA. Economists say new tariffs will nudge inflation higher, and that jump will ripple straight into next year's Social Security cost-of-living adjustment. Rising inflation could mean Social Security checks in 2026 will have lower buying power for over 52 million of Americans. How the Social Security COLA is Computed The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) calculates official price indexes for urban consumers (CPI-U), which represents the spending habits of about 88 percent of the U.S. population, and an older one—wage earners and clerical workers (CPI-W)—which represents about 29 percent of the U.S. population. The numbers are very closely related and hardly ever diverge. The government currently adjusts Social Security benefits with the CPI-W because it was the only one available when the Social Security COLA was first introduced in 1972. The government uses the CPI-W from the third quarter of the last year a COLA was determined to the third quarter of the current year – July–September. If there is no increase, there can be no COLA. If there is deflation, thankfully, Social Security does not reduce benefits. Controversy About What Index Is Right For Social Security COLA There has been a huge controversy about how the CPI is used and whether it is an appropriate index for seniors. The index used for the Social Security COLA, based on the CPI-W, may not be the typical basket of goods and services that Social Security recipients buy. It may not fully account for rising healthcare costs and shelter costs, which disproportionately affect older adults. Because of these complaints, the BLS considered the reasonable argument from advocates that the expenditure weights—the basket of goods—for urban (CPI-U) or CPI-W were not appropriate for the 62-years-and-over population. Another index with no official use—the CPI-E (Experimental Price Index for the Elderly)—weights medical and housing spending more heavily was calculated to see if it were really different from the official index used for the Social Security COLA. If the experimental index had more money budgeted for its construction, it would drill down on the different spending patterns of the elderly and adjust for the cost of retail goods the elderly would typically buy. For instance, an enhanced (and more expensive) experimental index would reflect the cost of buying one tube of toothpaste at the neighborhood CVS for $2.95 rather than ten tubes at Costco for $1 each. However, the index would have to consider that seniors can get discounts that cushion price increases. Clearly, the argument for a new official index just for Social Security was not compelling enough to justify the cost. I can see why. The expectation was that the CPI-E would be much higher than the official indices so that the Social Security index should be based on it. And, in fact, from Dec. 1982 to Dec. 2011, the CPI-E did run higher (3.1% vs. 2.9%) because medical care --which the elderly spend more on -- and shelter costs rose faster than overall inflation, and these categories carry more weight in the CPI-E. However, from 2012 to Dec. 2024, the annual difference between CPI-E and CPI-U fluctuated between positive and negative values. Some years, like 2016, 2019, and especially 2021, saw CPI-E rise faster; other years, such as 2014, 2018, 2022, and 2023, saw the opposite. This inconsistent pattern shows seniors' cost of living is not persistently higher than that faced by the broader urban population or urban wage and clerical workers. Social Security COLA Lag—A Defect Particularly Bad For 2026 But there are other problems with the COLA and arguably more serious than the market basket used. With an annual adjustment, Social Security check increases will always lag price changes recipients actually experience. Here is how that works. The COLA increase is based on last year's inflation, not ongoing inflation. So, if the inflation rate – basically, a person's cost of living -- increases faster than the previous year, the increase Social Security recipients get won't be enough to cover the inflation they are facing at any one point in time. And this lag -problem is worse when the last year's inflation was lower than the current year. And since inflation in 2026 will likely be higher than 2025, Social Security recipients will lose buying power all year long and won't get relief until January 1, 2027. Bottom line: Lagging adjustments do not keep pace with actual inflation experienced by recipients, leading to a decrease in purchasing power over time. Fixes For Properly Adjusting Social Security COLA The real fix to Social Security benefits is to raise the Social Security benefit across the board—say a flat $200. It would be a progressive increase because it would mean more to low-income people than high-income people. It would also be easy to pass politically and fair since everyone gets it. The U.S. has the highest senior poverty rate in the G-12—22.8%, compared to France's 5%. That's not a statistic; it's a moral failure . (Japan has the second highest senior poverty rate at 20%, Most nations' rates are below that of Spain's 13.3.) I can't forget about a woman I read about (found by reporter Nicole Neuman of Utah's ABC News) who noted her income was low when she was working and really low now that she is retired. 'My amount is about $1,500 a month,' said Maria Garcia, 64 years old. 'When I was working, I was making $2,800 a month. I'm sure there are thousands, if not millions, of seniors in this nation like me who can't afford their medication and either get their medication and eat cat food, or skip their medication.' When asked particularly about the cat food she said, 'Some say, 'Well, it's starting to taste more like tuna.' Or, they add something to it to make it have a little more flavor,' she said. 'They already have a cat at home, so they can buy a case. They have a can for each meal. Whether or not they have something to go with it isn't important to them because they figure they're getting the nutrition they need from the cat food.' Policy Fixes for Social Security COLA

Social Security Recipients: Mark Your Calendars for Oct. 15
Key Points The Social Security cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) is intended to offset inflation. Estimates show Social Security recipients have lost around 30% of their purchasing power since 2000. Some have questioned whether CPI-W data is the most efficient way to determine the annual COLA. The $23,760 Social Security bonus most retirees completely overlook › If you have been in a grocery or convenience store recently, you've likely noticed how expensive a lot of items are compared to previous years. Whether it's eggs, chicken, or chips, the increase is noticeable. This is a problem for many people, but especially Social Security recipients, who may rely entirely or mostly on benefits to survive and are on a fixed income. To help deal with inflation, Social Security applies a cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) that's intended to help retirees keep more of their purchasing power. It's one of the most, if not the most, crucial parts of the Social Security program. The reason to mark Oct. 15 on your calendar is that it's when Social Security releases its official annual COLA number. How Social Security determines the annual COLA Social Security considers the Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers (CPI-W) to determine the percentage to set the COLA each year. The CPI-W is a measure of inflation published monthly by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). It looks at the prices of common expenses, such as housing, food, transportation, medical care, and clothing. Below are the steps that Social Security takes to calculate the COLA: Average the CPI-W data for the third quarter (July, August, and September) of the current year. Compare the current year's third-quarter average to the third-quarter average of the previous year. Set the upcoming year's COLA at the percentage increase between the two averages. For example, if the CPI-W average is 300 in the previous year and increases to 315 in the current year, the upcoming year's COLA would be 5%. If the CPI-W decreased or remained the same, there is no COLA; benefits remain the same. This isn't common, but it has happened before in 2010, 2011, and 2016. Should Social Security use a different method to determine the COLA? Social Security has always used CPI-W data to determine the COLA, but many feel as though it isn't the best measure. According to research from The Senior Citizens League (TSCL) -- a nonpartisan senior advocacy group -- Social Security recipients have lost around 30% of their purchasing power since 2000, meaning every $100 in benefits is only worth around $70 in today's dollars. A major issue has been rising healthcare costs (one of retirees' biggest expenses) in areas not reflected in CPI-W data. Prescription drugs and long-term care are key examples of this. A proposed change has been to use CPI for the Elderly (CPI-E) instead. It applies to people age 62 and older and places greater emphasis on healthcare and housing costs. The Congressional Research Service (CRS) institution did a study that showed that a COLA based on the CPI-E would've been the same or higher than the actual COLA in all but six years since 1986. It might not have perfectly accounted for inflation over the years, but Social Security likely wouldn't have lost 30% of its purchasing power over the past 25 years. What COLA should retirees expect in 2026? Although the official COLA isn't released until Oct. 15, organizations put out estimates based on inflation trends. TSCL is one of them. In its latest estimates, it has the 2026 COLA at 2.6%. Although any increase is better than no increase, the 2.6% estimated increase is only 0.1% higher than 2025's COLA and below Social Security's 3.4% average COLA since it became a thing in 1975. Below are the past 10 Social Security COLAs: Year COLA Percentage 2025 2.5% 2024 3.2% 2023 8.7% 2022 5.9% 2021 1.3% 2020 1.6% 2019 2.8% 2018 2% 2017 0.3% 2016 0% Data source: SSA. Again, the TSCL estimate is just that: an estimate. Don't take it as gospel. Instead, mark your calendar for Oct. 15, so you can tune into the official announcement and begin planning your 2026 finances accordingly. The $23,760 Social Security bonus most retirees completely overlook If you're like most Americans, you're a few years (or more) behind on your retirement savings. But a handful of little-known could help ensure a boost in your retirement income. One easy trick could pay you as much as $23,760 more... each year!
