Whole Foods and the Natural Food Channel - Analysis of the $12.9 Billion Company
M2 - Mon Apr 07, 8:54AM CDT
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/lxstdv/whole_foods_and) has announced the addition of the "Whole Foods and the Natural Food Channel" report to their offering. The world's leading retailer of natural and organic foods with $12.9 billion in fiscal 2013 sales, Whole Foods Market has long been way ahead of the general retail curve, recognizing, capturing, and driving trends with a strategy of carrying a broad selection of high quality foods that appeal to both natural/organic food shoppers and gourmets. The chain's retail strengths echo market strategies similar to its competitor Trader Joe's, as both seek to capitalize on growing consumer interest in natural and organic products. In many ways, Whole Foods and Trader Joe's also have very similar - and actually often the same - customers. Yet, the striking differences between the two chains are what keep the same consumers shopping at both. At Whole Foods, the focus is premium quality and huge selection. At Trader Joe's, the focus is a sharply edited assortment of great products at great prices. In separate chapters, Whole Foods and the Natural Food Channel analyzes Whole Food's historical growth and expansion strategies, mission/position, store location and design, product standards and programs, use of private label, pricing, advertising and use of social media, organizational structure, ethical and environmental initiatives, consumer demographics and psychographics, and more. In addition the Retail Competitors chapter examines the wave of up-and-coming competitors in the natural foods space. In the past two years, several growth-oriented specialty food retailers and natural food chains - including Sprouts Farmers Market, The Fresh Market, Fairway Market, and Natural Grocers by Vitamin Cottage - tapped the stock market with initial public offerings (IPOs). Natural Markets Food Group, which owns the Mrs. Green's Natural Market chain, is said to be eyeing an IPO as well.
