As a small side note, Central Market is also pushing into the online shopping model and using open source software to do it. A friend here in Dallas worked on their WooCommerce integration.

WooCommerce vs the largest e-commerce platform in the world? I've been to the Amazon Go store and took a close look at the camera arrays, these toy retailers are whistling past the graveyard.

Perhaps, but a decade ago people said that HEB/Central Market were doomed because WalMart was moving into groceries, and at that time WalMart was considered the unstoppable retail behemoth. If I were placing bets on who will do better in groceries ecommerce, I would bet on the company that has its entire focus on that, especially when they have a history of beating back big competitors who come from other retail sectors.
