The pandemic is putting America’s deepening class divide into stark relief. Four classes are emerging, The Remotes, The Essentials, The Unpaid and The Forgotten.
Are Grocery Chains About To Join The Retail-Bankruptcy Bloodbath?
Hi @[Carol Wydra](user:7533), I've read your work and enjoy it. But I have to ask... if you don't live near #WholeFoods, and don't care about #WholeFoods, how do you know anything about their customer base? $WFM
Are Grocery Chains About To Join The Retail-Bankruptcy Bloodbath?
Ouch, Carol. And I thought I was an angry lady. I too don't live near a #WholeFoods, but as a result, I'm not going to generalize and claim that all their customers are the same (and dumb to boot). But even if true, if anyone can make diamonds out of coal, it's #Amazon. $AMZN $WFM
Blue Apron ($APRN) Post-IPO Buy The Dip Or Run Far Far Away?
I suspect #Amazon's acquisition of #WholeFoods will be serious competition for #BlueApron. $AMZN $WFM $APRN
Winner & Losers from Amazon’s Proposed Purchase of Whole Foods
Shopping at #Walmart is a miserable experience. #Amazon excels at customer service. If they increase efficency at #WholeFoods, they can likely do less with more, while still keeping customer service a priority. $WMT, $AMZN $WFM
Amazon's Acquisitions Create Adverse Reactions
"Grocery logistics is far different than what #Amazon understands or has experienced proficiency with." = Hitting the nail on the head. $AMZN $WFM
Amazon's Acquisitions Create Adverse Reactions
#Walmart acquired #Jet to compete with #Amazon. Now Amazon wants to acquire #WholeFoods to compete with Walmart. I don't think Walmart's acquisition did a think for them. Hopefully Amazon's will work out better for them $WMT $AMZN $WFM
Winner & Losers from Amazon’s Proposed Purchase of Whole Foods
I agree but I wouldn't be surprised if we started seeing #Amazon Kiosks in the corner of every #WholeFoods location. A great way to sell their actual devices, similar to mini #Apple Stores. $AMZN $WFM $AAPL
Winner & Losers from Amazon’s Proposed Purchase of Whole Foods
#Amazon's acquisition of #WholeFoods could revolutionize the industry. I don't think it will be the end of #Walmart though unless Amazon starts selling actual products in the the physical stores like Walmart does. And I don't think the Whole Foods locations are physically large enough. $AMZN $WMT $WFM
Winner & Losers from Amazon’s Proposed Purchase of Whole Foods
It's going to be interesting to see how #Amazon is going to react to this speculated rival bidder. This has already caused a bidding war and #WholeFoods' price has risen above what amazon has agreed to pay. $AMZN $WFM
Industry Analysis: Grocery Store Stocks
Even though you're not going to buy it, your analysis of #WholeFoods is way too positive and superficial, imho. Their stock has had rough going this year. $WFM.
