Delivered throughout Maine to small grocery stores in it's own trucks, Dee's was never able to crack the "supermarket" market. It was almost impossible to compete with the "little bit" lower prices in the increasingly popular super-markets. In post-war Maine people wanted to be modern; I think now most folks might re-think that stance (just my opinion).
