Amazon buys Whole Foods
Now that they've obliterated many retail outlets, what the heck lets do brick and mortar retail:

I've been using Amazon Prime NOW over a year now for groceries. 2 hour free delivery to my door & cheaper than the store, including tip.
Whole Foods is overpriced with a lot of feaux processed "health foods" let's hope Amazon changes that |

Why would they change that, Amazon offers everything including processed foods. Whole foods is not a health food store but a "Gourmet" store charging premium for the shopping experience. Who else could get away with "asparagus water" for $8.00?

Company Info | Whole Foods Market Not a big deal I stopped shopping at whole foods a while ago but will take a look again after Amazon takes full control just to see if there's any difference. Oddly Amazon Prime NOW has mostly organic food and free range, now I see the connection with the whole foods mission. The organic theme is likely just a front to make more profit. |

This is huge. Trust me the large grocery chains are shaking in their boots today.
We've known for a while they have been looking into opening up local stores and their is their way in....

There's also Amazon FRESH which is an extended Amazon Prime NOW service, it's only food thought, unlike Amazon Prime NOW where you get food, meat, and mist stuff a on Amazon.com except for huge items, all delivered within 1-2 hours free. |

It's interesting logging on and off the Amazon Prime NOW app and seeing how often items in your cart are raised and lowered. |

Yep, Amazon has been experimenting with grocery stores that have few or no workers in them. Once they perfect the model they can now roll it out around the globe in Whole Foods.

I live by the ocean and don't need to drive 40 minutes or more total to go to a decent grocery store that doesn't charge almost double for everything because of my location, and has a shit selection of produce and most other items. |
