"Strategic goal" like grocery delivery? This sounds like a move to strengthen their food delivery programs

- bpyne 9y agoExactly my thought. We had WF delivery for a couple of years. It was great for us. But, you could tell they were trying (unsuccessfully) to monetize it. When they curtailed it they offered a pickup service as replacement: Instacart is the app for placing orders. On the whole, the pickup service works pretty well except you don't get sale prices. I can see delivery coming back now that Amazon is in the picture. I can also see a bigger push to sell prepared foods for delivery. Prepared foods are the real money makers.
- hellbanner 9y agoYeah, now they can offer "healthy"/organic/fresh etc foods for delivery with Whole Food's brand (more trusted than Amazon Fresh). Prepared foods - absolutely. Packaged meals, granolas, sandwiches. Good point.
