AT THE WASHINGTON POST!!!!!
Whole Foods opened a "365" store in my local upscale mall about one year ago. "365" sells a smaller selection of organic foods at lower prices.
About two months after Bezos bought Whole Foods, Amazon closed the "365" store. Employees and the mall management got like 2 hours notice.
The mall is suing Amazon for breaking the lease and other contractual issues.
Beaks has crippled EaPo and is destroying Whole Foods
Guess he’s not as smart as he thought he was
My understanding, and the article confirms, is that these policies started before Bezos bought them. Selling the 365 stores probably was hit the supply rules changed with them trying to be more profitable. The question is whether or not Bezos can right the sinking ship.
I’ll never go there, I’ve never seen so many recalls from one retailer before. If I want to go that route there’s a Wegman’s closer to me.
They have pissed off their employees, they have pissed off customers.....
Haven’t pissed off this customer. Everything is the same except for lower prices on some items.
boo fricking hoo, those are standard policies of ALL the other big grocery store chains. Leftist professor’s wives who shop there, stoners who work there, and “artisans” who sell their hand-made organic goat cheese compote wafer samiches are upset that Whole Foods isn’t “special” anymore.

When Amazon bought Whole Foods, I predicted this was not going to work out well for Amazon. Pissing off employees, vendors and customers from the get-go is never a good idea.
Someone is going to start up a competing business modeled after the Whole Foods concept and take their business. What happens if those more popular vendors create a co-op and open up a small stores in nice strip malls and sell only non-perishable goods.
Those nonperishable goods can easily be sold on line. Would be kind of ironic if they sold them on Amazon where Prime members can get free shipping.
Would not be surprised if Amazon sells off Whole Foods at a serious discount within two years.
Stopped at Whole Foods just yesterday to price compare.
Still outrageously expensive.
Whole Foods suppliers are likely all Organic Fair Trade Gender and Carbon Neutral Worker Collectives.
Can angry sit-ins at Whole Foods stores be far behind?
