Martin's Food Stores to Layoff Hundreds as Recession Picks Up Speed
Posted by: Recession in June ()
Date: April 18, 2017 09:32AM

It's starting... but wait for the full impact of Trump's and republican policies to hit in June and continue down for the next four years. Get your money into bonds now.

Updated numbers show a total of 487 Martin’s Food Markets workers will lose their jobs in June and July when four stores close.

Three of the four stores are being sold to Florida-based Publix Super Markets, which will renovate them before reopening. Publix is buying a total of 10 of 19 area Martin’s stores — seven of them have closed already and are undergoing renovations.

A fourth store is among the nine area Martin’s stores Publix is not buying.

It many companies now that are planning layoffs over the next couple of months you dolt! Pay attention to business news.

When Trump pisses off other countries and increases the cost of goods by getting rid of cheap labor, factory orders go down.

Conservative will never understand economics.

As usually the Gerry hater is clueless and wasting his time like eesh and meade. I'm the OP and I'm not Gerry. Go suck it.

By the way the only facebook accounts are my kids facebook accounts. I use whatsapp and the other popular social apps. Facebook is for geezers.

The fact that you need a social app, to use as a crutch to boost your own ego, makes you a loser!

The good news is that Ukrops food is now available in more grocery stores, including Krogers and Wegmans.

Wegmans is probably the closest grocery store in terms of customer service of the old Ukrops. The people at Trader Joes and Whole Foods are so pretentious.

Obviously you don't need to sell anything beacause you don't own anything and live in your refugee parents basement. When will they get tired of supporting your unemployed lazy ass?

Just another fake news headkine


RICHMOND, Va. (AP) - Martin’s Food Markets will lay off hundreds at the last three stores to close before being converted to Publix Super Markets.
The Richmond Times-Dispatch reports (http://bit.ly/2oyyFsm ) two stores will lay off 138 and 141 employees, respectively. The third store has yet to announce layoff numbers.
Ten Martin’s stores in the area have been sold to Florida-based Publix, which will renovate and reopen the stores. The other seven stores laid off a combine 1,100 employees in November and February.
Publix will also construct another store. Of the nine area Martin’s stores not sold to Publix, one will close as its lease expires, but the fates of the other eight are unknown.
Martin’s sold the stores to comply with federal antitrust regulations after the parent companies of Martin’s and Food Lion merged.

Too many malls and too many stores. Why do we need a megamall every five miles from each other?

I quit going to malls years ago. With the internet, no one has to go out to shop any more. Food nowadays attracts people with their favorite food needs going to their favorite stores to get it. Over supply means prices go down or you go out of business.

It's entirely predictable that grocery chains not saddled with union-thug employees would grow, while those infested with unions die a slow death.

Unions do very little for the individuals that fund them!
They are mostly there to serve themselves! Unions suck!

YOONYENS: Expect to pay tribute money to your leaders who will in turn take it, skim off their cut and funnel the rest to the Democrat Party. You will also be told who to vote for, when to strike and when to picket.
