Market Basket named Chuck Casassa as its new president after a Delaware chancery court upheld the board’s firing of former CEO Arthur T. Demoulas; interim CEO Don Mulligan is retiring and the board did not announce a successor. Casassa, who started as a bagger in 1976 and rose to director of operations last year, is lauded for his store leadership.
