The popular grocery chain didn't give many hints, other than a graphic with their old logo, leading some to believe that they might be switching its name from Market Basket to include the DeMoulas family name as it once did.

"Changing name of store brand food/items to Demoulas?" one person speculated on X.

"When I was growing up we went to the DeMoulas on Route 110 in Westford. Are you bringing back the old name?" said another.

Around 9 a.m. Friday, Market Basket posted on their social media accounts that they will be launching new limited edition gift cards featuring their old "DeMoulas" logo.

"We love our retro logos just as much as you!" they said, before teasing that there could be "More to come." We'll keep you updated if they make any more announcements.
