Our local Kroger has that along with tons of cheap, organic stuff. They also focus on quality of produce, service, etc. They can't match Whole Foods in how well the store is run since they're cut-throat in cost cutting. They do just good enough that all kinds of customers tolerate them. Gabriel's Worse is Better applied to grocery stores haha. I'm totally unsurprised by the article seeing Walmart, Costco, and Kroger are one-stop shops for regular and organic items at much cheaper prices. I expected this to happen to Whole Foods. They should double down on the better shopping experience (less crowds) and offering obscure items big retails are too greedy to carry.
