If @LongosMarkets was an American grocery chain, there's a good chance it would now be owned by its employees. In Canada, it sold to @sobeys.

My op-ed about why the Cdn gov't embracing employee ownership is a big deal.

@LongosMarkets is a great family-owned grocer, and their customers love it. So why did the Longo family sell out to one of the big three conglomerates?
Empire (Sobeys), Loblaw and Metro own 75% of the Canadian grocery market.

Maybe they got an offer they couldn't refuse!
Or, maybe they had no credible alternative.
That's not the case in the US, where US-ESOPs enabled family-owned @Publix, @WinCoFoods, @BrookshireBros and @HarpsFoodStores (and others) to stay independent by selling to their employees.
