Wisconsin to Market Chain: Jack Up Those Prices or Else!
19th August 2015
Michigan-based market Meijer is attempting to expand into the state of Wisconsin, and they’re offering food for a steal. Who wouldn’t want Pop Tarts at $1.50 a box or tomatoes for $.79 a pound?
The answer to that question is, of course, protectionist bureaucrats and rival stores within the state of Wisconsin. Meijer is now under investigation for violating the state’s Unfair Sales Act, a depression-era law that forbids selling merchandise at below cost. A law firm in Milwaukee filed complaints on behalf of an unnamed client naming 37 products they believe are being sold below cost.
