Amazon buys Whole Foods

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

Only 13.4 Billion...

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?

"Who are we? Well, we seek out the finest natural and organic foods available, maintain the strictest quality standards in the industry, and have an unshakeable commitment to sustainable agriculture. Add to that the excitement and fun we bring to shopping for groceries, and you start to get a sense of what we?re all about. Oh yeah, we?re a mission-driven company too. "

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.

The cool thing about Amazon Prime NOW, aside from 1-2 hour free delivery and seeing where the driver is real time on the map, is if you get anything you aren't satisfied with you click "return" next to the item and they come back within 1-2 hours and replace it free, or refund you.

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.

Free grocery delivery They will crush most local stores. They'll be like the Walmart of groceries

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.

Same here.. no need to have groceries delivered, thats for fat lazy asses. Watching the supermarkets constantly full of people here .. I know most prefer it this way.

Fuck Amazon, they are just resellers and their site is fugly.

That's incorrect SpicyM

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.

Exactly.

I used to think Amazon was mostly interested in ruling the internet. Now I realize they want to take Walmart down.
