Amazon will be opening a new grocery store, and it's not Whole Foods

Quote
Amazon wouldn't say if the grocery would be a stand-alone or the start of a new chain, or what it would be called, but it did confirm that it would not be part of Whole Foods, the grocery chain Amazon bought for $13.7 billion in 2017.

"This new store offers another grocery option that’s distinct from Whole Foods Market, which continues to grow and remain the leader in quality natural and organic food,'' the company said in an emailed statement.

Roughly eight months ago, the Wall Street Journal reported that Amazon was negotiating to open supermarkets in several cities.

another grocery option that’s distinct from Whole Foods Market ?  I thought it already existed, it's called Walmart.

Smells like Amazon did not get what they thought they would get with While Foods purchase.

Not a fan of Whole Foods.  Their prices are way higher than Sprouts.  And they refuse to provide the choice of plastic bags.

Obviously, however my point was that a grocery option distinct from Whole Foods already exists. wink777

Dozens of options.  But the point of the article was AMAZON was going to offer a option distinct from their Whole Foods.

Smart & Final, Stater Bros, Albertsons, Vons, Sprouts, Target, Wallmart, Walmart Neighborhood Market, Costco, Sam's Club Grocery Outlet, Aldi, Trader Joe's, Ralphs are our shopping options nearby.

A couple more might come, and some might go.
