Amazon to Acquire Whole Foods for $13.7B

I don't really see TJ as a WF competitor beyond the earthy crunchy vibe. TJ is mostly pretty weak in the produce, meat, cheese, and fish sections which are exactly the areas where WF is often worth the premium. I suppose they compete in the frozenprepared food that pretends to be Artisanal.

TJ is a good deal for some things but it only somewhat overlaps.

Can confirm, lived in place where TJ's and WF were almost in sight of one another and shopped at both, often in the same outing.
