Whole Foods will continue to operate under its own brand, with the acquisition expected to close sometime in the second half of this year. Whole Foods Market, which has more than 420 stores in more than 40 states in the US, soared more than 29.1% to $42.68. "Whole Foods Market has been satisfying, delighting and nourishing customers for almost four decades - they're doing an unbelievable job and we want that to continue."E-commerce has led to massive declines in retail purchases throughout all product channels in the past decade".

Whole Foods Market was founded in 1978 and as organic food became all the rage, so did Whole Foods. Currently, Amazon offers grocery-delivery services in five markets, but the move would allow it to expand. The Seattle-based company was recently granted a patent for technology that would block shoppers from comparing prices from their mobile devices while they're in stores. The app would then have automatically charged whatever products they took out of the store with them to their Amazon account.
Amazon will pay $42 a share for Whole Foods stocks and the company's net debt. Whole Foods will keep operating stores under its name. Its stock peaked in 2013 at $65.24. It has more than 400 stores in south of the border. The e-commerce leader's stock popped another 4% on Friday, lifting its market value to an incredible $477 billion. "They're greedy bastards, and they're putting a bunch of propaganda out there, trying to destroy my reputation and the reputation of Whole Foods because it's in their self-interest to do so".
