We have a relatively new Sprouts near me, right across from the Kroger Ive gone to for, well, decades at this point. While I still go to Kroger a little, I go to Sprouts twice or three times for every time I go to Kroger. Great compact store, good quality & price, and I dont have to walk past many, many aisles of stuff I dont buy, or dont buy at a grocery store, as I do at Kroger. Its nice being able to get in and out of the store quickly.
Prior to the bid or the closing of the purchase? Because once a friendly bid is made, management will go to great lengths to make the bidder happy.
If they are running it like Walmart, why is there plenty of produce in our Walmart in a little town in Texas? We have no empty shelves anywhere in our store.
JIT may work for the auto industry but not the food industry........stupid
One opened in October where I am. Floppy carrots, green potatoes and plenty of jackfruit but no garlic. A disaster and with their pricing, it’s almost always empty.

A-hole foods indeed.
It was about running it into the ground
Those are pictures of fully stocked stores in Venezuela.
JIT=OSWO
(Just In Time = Oh Shucks We’re Out)
All WF’s have doors on some of the items, including fresh greens.
Looks very Soviet, the frank commies that work at Whole Paycheck must be delighted....
Commies do what commie does....idiots don’t understand the business they are in. Buh-bye Whole Foods (Whole Paycheck).
Those Walmart/Sams Club bastards can’t seem to figure out how to ship to Alaska, so they are shutting down 3 profitable stores up here.
They literally screwed small communities and small business throughout Alaska. They did this right when announcing their employee bonus program.
You can’t ship a single thing up here thru Walmart either. They have nothing figured out.
>Why does the San Francisco store have doors protecting the food?
Protecting from heat. Because it’s a refrigerator.
Amazon is living on borrowed time. Walmart is gradually taking them out.
Yet.
Give ‘em time. Amazon could be Myspace and Jet could be facebook, if you get my gist.
Shitwhole Foods?
Looks like Venezuela; but wait - isn’t WF owned by a socialist?
There is nothing so great and so efficient that a liberal can’t screw it up..........................
Seems like everybody knew this..................except Amazon................
Precisely! You cannot control the demand frequency and it can (and often does) have a much shorter wave length than supply chain response. No buffer (freezer and storage) means gaps. Of course the management dolts don’t understand the cost of empty shelves both on current and future lost revenue.
