Market Basket CEO is put on leave in new spat at family-controlled supermarket chain

Market Basket, the beloved New England grocery chain with 90+ stores, is facing renewed family drama. CEO Arthur T. Demoulas was placed on leave by the board over disputes about oversight and succession. This echoes a similar conflict a decade ago when Demoulas survived an ouster attempt thanks to an employee strike. Founded in 1917 by Greek immigrant Athanasios Demoulas, the chain has been at the center of family feuds for decades, including a notorious 1990s courtroom fistfight, NPR has reported.
