2. The Amazon - Whole Foods value proposition could disrupt the Canadian
Grocery industry

Low prices enabled by
membership model
High quality, fresh and
convenient groceries
at low price
3. The alternatives had too much risk for not enough reward
Meal Kits Further DifferentiationDo Nothing
Want to remain as a Platform
company first, products can be
replicated
Whole Foods is more differentiated
than Loblaws and now will have
lower prices squeezing Loblaws into
the middle between Amazon &
Walmart
High risk that online grocery
market will materialize, Walmart
and Amazon heavily investing. If
Loblaws waits it will not have
option to buy or do a joint venture

Fails the better off test
