A GROCERY CHAIN WITH A SIGNIFICANT PRESENCE ON THE CENTRAL COAST HAS FILED FOR CHAPTER 11. A SPOKESPERSON FOR THE MI PUEBLO CHAIN SAYS FILING FOR FEDERAL BANKRUPTCY PROTECTION ALLOWS THE COMPANY A CHANCE TO REORGANIZE MAKING THEM STRONGER AND MORE COMPETITIVE. THE COMPANY ALSO SAYS THEY WANT TO STRESS THE FACT THAT THE EMPLOYEE AND CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE WILL NOT CHANGE AS EMPLOYEES ARE EXPECTED TO CONTINUE TO BE COMPENSATED FOR THEIR SERVICE. THE CHAIN HAS STORES IN SALINAS, SEASIDE, GILROY AND WATSONVILLE.
