'Do the right thing': Mass. mayor calls for end to Market Basket drama

METHUEN, MASSACHUSETTS, JUL 24 – Methuen Mayor David Beauregard calls for Market Basket board to reinstate CEO Arthur T. Demoulas to end suspensions and firings amid accusations of planned work disruptions.

  • Methuen Mayor David Beauregard sent a letter on Thursday to Market Basket's board calling for an end to the corporate drama and reinstatement of CEO Arthur T. Demoulas.
  • The letter responded to an ongoing leadership crisis that began with Demoulas' paid leave in late May amid allegations of a planned work stoppage and led to firing top executives Joe Schmidt and Tom Gordon this week.
  • Beauregard highlighted how vital the two Market Basket stores in Methuen are for providing employment and affordable groceries to numerous local families, cautioning that ongoing internal conflicts jeopardize the company’s established culture and business approach.
  • Schmidt expressed his unwavering commitment to the company and criticized the board members for being disconnected from Market Basket's core values during his recent public statements.
  • The ongoing power struggle echoes a similar 2014 conflict that nearly collapsed the company, suggesting that without resolution, Market Basket's community role and business stability could suffer serious damage.
