"Amazon has tried a number of different physical store layouts and formats, and the only one that has really worked is the one they bought, which is Whole Foods,"
"The one thing ... they haven't tried is this format, a Supercenter format that is really at the heart of Walmart's success, which is the combination of food and grocery in a wide-assortment scenario."
"They should be a little worried about Amazon getting stronger in an area that Walmart clearly dominates and has a majority of strength in,"
Public documents describe a 225,000-square-foot Amazon store near Orland Park that would sell groceries, general merchandise, and could include dining options. The proposed footprint rivals the average Walmart Supercenter size of 178,000 square feet. Amazon has experimented with multiple physical formats and found Whole Foods to be its most successful acquisition. A Supercenter format would combine food and grocery with a wide assortment central to Walmart's model. Walmart operates roughly 4,600 U.S. stores and reports delivery reach to 95% of households within three hours. A single location may not move the market, but a scaled rollout could pose a competitive threat.
