Grocery Dive reported the development on 2025-08-22. The New England grocer recently dismissed a board member who supported its suspended CEO and won a court order barring two fired executives from its stores, local news outlets reported.
The report places the news in a wider commercial context. Market Basket has removed the last member of its board of directors who supported the retailer’s suspended CEO, as a battle over the New England grocery chain’s leadership continues to unfold, according to Boston-area media reports.
For the food sector, the practical implications extend beyond the immediate announcement. Also this month, a judge granted a request by Market Basket for a restraining order preventing two former longtime executives, Joseph Schmidt and Tom Gordon, from entering the chain’s stores or other properties, according to WCVB.
Attention now turns to how companies, customers and regulators respond. Market Basket said in the complaint that Schmidt, its former director of operations, and Gordon, who had served as director of grocery, had told associates that they would be reinstated to their positions and that workers “who cooperated with Market Basket management in their absence will be targeted for retribution.”.
