Amazon has the better distribution, but Target has the better foot traffic/real estate.

Target has better foot traffic than Amazon...who knew?

yeah....I figured I shoulda phrased that different after I hit post....

What I meant was Target has solid real estate that pulls people in to park and browse as an activity to get out of the house...typically in better neighborhoods too. If people are comfortable in a place they will browse and impulse buy more.

So while the main drive may be to provide competition to WMTs order and pickup - it would also provide Amazon with something they don’t currently have to offer.

Part of the reason they bought Wholefoods was to address the people who refuse to buy their food sight unseen...allowing someone else to pick it for you...my wife is one of those.
