Whole Foods' Key Sales Dip Shows Amazon Buying a Fixer-Upper -
Thursday, July 27, 2017
AUSTIN, Texas (AP) – Amazon is set to have a fixer-upper on its hands, with Whole Foods reporting another key sales decline.
The grocery chain said Wednesday that sales fell 1.9 percent at established locations for the three months that ended July 2. That marks the eighth straight quarter the figure has declined as Whole Foods sees more competition from traditional grocers, big box retailers and others that are offering more organic choices.
