Amazon to open grocery chain separate from Whole Foods

Do we really need another grocery store chain though? Whole Foods cornered the high-end grocery market (or created it, if you want to debate).

Introducing yet another generic grocery chain to the already saturated, age-old red ocean market doesn't seem reasonable unless they're trying to create walk-up warehouses for online grocery delivery.

I welcome Amazon's attempt to bring changes to the existing grocery store market. Maybe they'll figure something out, or maybe they'll fail. Either way, I'm happy to have more options as a consumer.

Not if they succeed. The grocery market is only so large, and if Amazon pushes other other grocery chains, consumers now have less choice.
