The ten stores in southeast Michigan will be renovated to fit the Food Basics format, the company said, adding that the new format stores would have approximately the same retail space as they had when operated as Farmer Jack Food Markets.
The Food Basics concept provides a discount of up to 30% on grocery items that shoppers buy most.
