Farmer Jack plans wide-ranging cuts

DETROIT -- Farmer Jack Food Market said Tuesday the company is planning wide-ranging cost reductions that could include wage and benefit cuts as the grocer looks to boost its profitability. Farmer Jack President Mike Carter outlined options for staffers Tuesday at the company's corporate headquarters in Detroit, while store managers met with employees at Farmer Jack's 106 locations in southeast Michigan and Ohio. As Metro Detroit's market leader, Farmer Jack employs nearly 10,000 workers in Wayne, Oakland and Macomb counties.
