I think it depends on whether you are talking about physical stores or online. Sure #Walmart has been taking an increasingly larger bite from grocery sales while it is still too early to tell if the #Amazon acquisition of Whole Foods will have a meaningful impact on it's marketshare.
But when it comes to online shopping, Amazon is becoming increasingly distruptive. It wasn't long ago that I started doing about 25% of my shopping online direct from the supermarkets' websites (usually as a result of a coupon being sent my way). But lately, I'd say about 75% of my grocery shopping comes straight from Amazon. Either direct or through Amazon Fresh. Prices are pretty good (especially when paired with their frequent coupons, shipping times are super fast, quality is excellent, and the customer service can't be beat.
