No. I'm fine with the local grocery stores. The last thing Vermont needs is national chains sucking money out of the state.

The lack of awareness about how local businesses sustain local economies while chains remove money from local economies is astounding. All you have to do is go across the lake to see what something like Walmart does to small towns.

MB is not a national chain though. It's headquarters are in Mass and they only operate in the New England area.

I definitely appreciate having a local market in my town, when I'm in a bind for milk or something I need its great to not have to drive 20 miles round trip to get it from a larger supermarket. But that said, I couldn't afford to just shop there for my weekly groceries, nothing is ever on sale.
