Amazon & Groceries

Amazon & Whole Foods
● Amazon is an e-commerce business that sells everything
● Everything is done differently today because of Amazon, and the grocery
industry is one of the last industries to come under that influence
● Whole Foods is a grocery store known for its organic merchandise
● Whole Foods was a mission driven company, and the mission was to
change the world, have good stuff, and to change the way people eat.
● Amazon spent more than $13 Billion to buy Whole Foods
COVID-19 Impact
● Amazon is an online retailer

● In-store to orders are delivered straight to your door

● Shifted Whole Foods towards food delivery

Online Grocery Shopping- Jasmine
● For Amazon, acquiring Whole Foods was in part just a way to encourage people to sign up for
Amazon Prime memberships, joining Amazon’s powerful loyalty program in exchange for discounts
on their groceries.
● However a lot of people have been speculating that the reason why amazon purchased whole foods,
was to learn about the the groceries market, and then launch something even bigger, and more
mainstream. Amazon has supermarkets called amazon fresh which is less extravagant then
wholefoods, and cheaper, with same day delivery, if you are a prime member.
● Groceries make up a consistent chunk of most people’s spending, and they’re kind of the only online
shopping niche that Amazon hasn’t yet been able to dominate.
● Moreover, Amazon attempts to scale up its grocery business, it’s meeting a familiar foe. Walmart once
followed Amazon into online shopping, hoping to catch up. And now Amazon is chasing Walmart, the
No. 1 food seller in America, when it comes to the grocery game.
