If Whole Foods was in financial trouble before the acquisition, I don't imagine they'll be able to cut prices and maintain their quality. Something's got to give and I think it's going to be that "nice idea" you mention.
I see this idea thrown around but why can Amazon do a better job than Whole Foods has already done?
Can they combine the supply chain with their Amazon Pantry and get more cost sharing or something?
Basically, they have a whole lot more experience moving things around than Whole Foods.
So you think when someone buys them with lots of money, they can't cut prices? Um, what?
