Neither. I can tell you we’ve been purchased twice in the last 8 months; we were purchased in february by a large grocery distributor, publicly traded, and then about 3 months ago they were purchased by the largest privately owned grocery distributor in the country in a 1.8 Billion dollar deal.
But yeah, they still ride the reputation of the small chain (think 12 stores in a small tristate region) and use that to justify their high prices. Management’s answer to any complaint is always “we’re a small local business, we don’t have the purchasing power of a Walmart”. Yeah, not entirely true. Not by a long shot.
