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
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
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
#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
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
#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
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
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.
Are Grocery Chains About To Join The Retail-Bankruptcy Bloodbath?

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

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
