Wholesale margins are razor thin, but retail ones are relatively fat. (I work in Wholesale/Retail software).

After tax profit margins for grocery retailers in the US range from 1-3%, some places like Whole Foods approach 5%. Gross margins are higher, but net margins are what determine whether or not you go out of business.
