In business especially when you're the one stuck hosting the meeting and usually some big executives who are flying in, everything has to be perfect and the only places you'll go to are those who have been performing every time you've called upon them. It's all the reputation the business earns. I ...

They have choices: Piggly Wiggly QFC Mariano's Topps? Carrs Sublease to other operators who may have a shot at running the store and insist they use C&S as supplier, see UNFI attempts to sell Shoppers/take back Shoppers stores/close stores/etc etc etc Sell to Whole Foods or some other competent...
