Whole Foods Market was a leader in employees benefit's, compensation, and innovation for a time. The drive for growth as a private company was followed by it moving to a public company. It created larger and larger stores, cut/lost the company culture and then was acquired by Amazon. It is now for the most part a shell of what made it an attractive space to shop. Coupled with the online grocery expansion, a sector predominantly made on very small margins and vast competition only exacerbated its fall. A cycle of markets I suppose. But, not the only path they may have taken. To me this parallels the rise and fall of US malls.
