I think it is better said that Arthur S. Demoulas and his supporters argued he is a spendthrift.

That's more like it.. oh another idea is they want to expand to NH with new stores therefore creating a different client base and most of the new stores are putting in Market's Kitchen in them.. Billerica has THREE MB's and cannot even put one in or they don't have one at all out of those 3.. tell me that's classy. I gotta go to Chelmsford or Tewksbury if I want to experience one. That's why I'm thinking if Arthur T gets cut, some of those older stores might go and Billerica locations may be the ones getting hit or some of the older ones.. probably none if they have a Market's Kitchen in them though.

Isn't MB already in Nashua?

Pretty sure there are a couple in Nashua. Actually they are all over both southern and eastern NH. My stepdaughter goes to UNH and when I visit I always stop at a MB to bring her groceries. There are a few that I know of in that area.

Yes, there is a MB on the DW Highway just up the road from the Pheasant Lane Mall on the opposite side of the road (#13). Until recently there were two locations on Route 101A just west of Route 3 (#'s 29 & 43). Those two are being consolidated into one larger, new store. There is another one further west on Route 101A (#39) which is located just shy of the Merrimack town line.

Actually Market Basket is also looking at Maine as well. There is a new store going in near Biddeford.

Its amazing they are now that far in Maine and now as far south in MA as Ashland which is like really far from their headquarters also. Theres a good possibility they expand but also sacrifice some of their older stores if it means gaining new locations in other states or areas without Market Baskets.

Last I heard Westford will get rid of their older one, but they got a new one in Westford but they wanna move a MB to Littleton but if I lived in Littleton I wouldn't want it. I'd rather keep Donelan's to be honest and they do have sales as well. If I wanted my MB fix as a Littleton resident, I'd go to Westford but just wouldn't want it where I lived.

There's one in New Bedford also

[Brave Stranger]

There's 2 MBs in Concord NH & 1 in Tilton NH at Exit 20 off of Route 93. And they are trying to put an MB way up in Plymouth NH off of Exit 26.

Another 'new' MB is on the Bedford/Goffstown, NH border. Hooksett, NH at Exit 10 has been open maybe 2 years or so...
