Agree, turning it into a Wal-Mart like store wastes the Whole foods brand name. The current customer base would move to other stores. Best to keep their customer base and lower costs. Trader Joe's is a great example.
They're going to automate as much as possible with the goal of reducing costs, use the stores as a base for the Amazon Fresh delivery business, expand prime fresh and reduce product selection at the stores. I suspect the stores will become a base for Blue Apron like ready to make food deliveries.
