All 10 Johnnie’s Foodmaster supermarkets are closing, not just the six being taken over by Whole Foods Market, according to a company hired to liquidate the local chain. But a seventh store — in Medford — will reopen as a Stop & Shop.
Hilco Merchant Resources, based in Illinois, said Johnnie’s has started offering discounts of up to 30 percent on all food, beverages, household products, and general merchandise as the business starts to wind down after 65 years.

The discounts offered are deceiving! Most discounts are 10% and the prices look like they may have been marked up to start with. Today in Arlington only soda and a few other items were discounted more than 10%.
