Why Walmart is trouncing Amazon in the grocery wars: Walmart is more of a threat to the e-commerce giant than the other way around

economist.com/business/2023/07/24/why-walmart-is-trouncing-amazon-in-the-grocery-wars

Quick Glance: Why Walmart is outperforming Amazon in the grocery war

Amazon's acquisition of Whole Foods indicated a more conventional approach to the supermarket business.

Since then, Amazon has treated grocery more like a scientific experiment than a seduction, resulting in weak performance at Whole Foods and other formats.

Last year, Tony Hoggett, a former executive from Tesco, a British supermarket chain, was recruited to bring grocery expertise to the company.

Amazon has two other advantages: a massive marketplace platform for third-party sellers, expanding the range of products available on its website, and a $38 billion advertising business that complements its supermarket operations.
