Are Supermarkets Ready to Compete with Amazon?

Costco, WalMart, Target, Sam’s Club, Walgreen’s, Rite Aid, CVS…all of these companies have impacted and continue to impact the food retailing world. 

And then, there is Amazon…
"Amazon is the push that will make everyone change. Food retailers can’t dismiss it. They can’t say it’s too expensive, it’s too this, it’s too that," says Deborah Weinswig, an analyst covering retailing at Citi Research
Whether you like Amazon or not, it has changed…and is continuing to change the world.  Think about all of the data that supermarkets collect, and then think about Amazon and what it has learned from all of that data and how it uses that data to help itself and its customers!  They are a fierce competitor.  Just ask IBM, who lost out on a $600MM contract  with the CIA for cloud computing.  
Amazon is setting its sights on the food market…they are opening distribution centers with a variety of pick-up and delivery options.  They might be coming to your area. 

Are you ready to compete with them?
