The business story is interesting. The old CEO of Dominics wanted to compete with Whole Foods and put in fresh and organic, sushi, etc. Dominics execs and board said no. The CEO decided to leave and Dominics put him on a 5 year noncompete contract. He spent the 5 years planning out Marianos with fresh bakery, sushi chefs, wine bars, coffee bars, you name it. Not all the Marianos have everything but it is truly a shopping Mecca. They really were the nail in the coffin for Dominics.
Love Mariano's. Excellent food and especially the bakery. I remember reading about that CEO in the Daily Heralds...I need to plan a trip back home.
