    7/9/2018 Amazon's purchase of Whole Foods upended the meal kit industry MENU RESTAURANTS CONSUMER RETAIL AUTOS FOOD AND BEVERAGE RESTAURANTS FASHION GOODS RETAIL REPORT Amazon's purchase of Whole Foods flipped the meal kit industry upside down; celebrity spokesmodels, football stars help sell vegan dinners Celebrities like New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady and supermodel Chrissy Teigen are drawing new clients with branded kits and recipes. Amazon hasn't even begun offering meals to its more than 100 million Prime members and its reputation for disrupting entire industries already has the meal kit market changing up business models. Meal kit companies are partnering with supermarkets, drug store chains and introducing a variety of specialty diets to try to lure and retain customers.

Amazon's mere presence in the market has already fundamentally altered it.

  • The Next Digital Helix Windfall
    U.S. Dividend Stock Investing for Canadian Investors The Next Digital Helix Windfall 1 The Next Digital Helix Windfall THE NEXT DIGITAL HELIX WINDFALL The U.S. grocery industry is undergoing the most significant revolution ever in its history – thanks to technology – in how it operates. It is not an exaggeration to say that companies that do not participate in the industry's biggest transformation in its history will be consigned to the dustbin of economic history. My recommendation is a grocer that is quickly adapting to the new environment and will emerge as a big winner in the years ahead. But more on that later… first, let's look at the many changes happening in the once staid grocery business. For the companies that do not adapt to the new realities of the grocery industry – that were accelerated by the 2017 purchase of Whole Foods by Amazon, their disappearance will likely happen very quickly. One needs only to look at the fact that 18 major grocery firms have gone bankrupt here in the U.S. just since 2014. And before you think that groceries are not a growth business, consider that food and beverage is Amazon's fastest growing category in 2018 as measured by sales growth in the U.S. And with the changes occurring in the sector, that growth is likely to continue for the foreseeable future. So, what will the vastly changed grocery industry landscape look like at the start of the next decade? Here's a quick look ahead at some of the changes I expect… The Grocery Industry Landscape in 2020 Online Shopping - Increased consumer demand for more convenient shopping options will continue to boost online food and grocery sales in the years ahead.

  • From Meal Kits to Makeup, Subscription Services Face High Hurdles the Past Five Years Have Seen an Influx in the Popularity of Subscription Boxes
    There’s a Box for That: From Meal Kits to Makeup, Subscription Services Face High Hurdles The past five years have seen an influx in the popularity of subscription boxes. You can almost have anything delivered to your home in a recurring, familiar box. Not wanting to be left out, Amazon bought Whole Foods to get into the business of meal kit subscriptions, hoping to cash in on the explosion of subscription services in the past couple of years. From “Calmbox”— which sends a thematic assortment of items (including music, books, snacks, candles, and more) that’ll help you unwind and de-stress — to Bitsbox —which sends you app projects and accessories that will teach your child how to code and build a fun gaming app in the process— there is a subscription today for almost anything imaginable. The market speculates that subscriptions are the future of business.1 However, not every industry lends itself well to an easy profit via subscription. With the popularity of free trials, the ease of canceling makes it tempting for subscribers to dip in and out of the program, as is the case with Blue Apron. The meal-kit delivery service spends enormous amounts on marketing to facilitate growth, as 72% of their customers could ditch the service within six months of sign-up.3 With that in mind, different categories of subscription services perform better than others, such as shaving razors, which are proven to work well as a subscription service. Most people shave on a regular basis and need to purchase new razors continuously.2 Other categories struggle with customer retention.

  • Food and Prescription Access for Individuals Without Transportation During COVID-19
    Food and Prescription Access for Individuals Without Transportation During COVID-19 The following organizations are currently making it easier for people without transportation to access food and prescriptions. Please note: The information below is accurate as of April 26, 2020 but the status of each of these programs can change quickly. Contact the organization directly if you have questions or to check on the current status. Food Access Information United Way, Salvation Army, Care and Share These organizations are now working collaboratively to deliver groceries for people who do not have transportation. To access, call PP United Way at 2-1-1; they will deliver to doorstep within 24-48 hours. United Way is also coordinating delivery for the individual sites listed on FoodPantries.org. Care and Share has a sign-up on their site for organizations or individuals who would like to contribute as volunteer drivers and/or food pantry workers. Go to https://careandshare.org/get-involved/volunteer/ or call (719) 528-1247 to speak to distribution center. Other Options “Trendy” Services: There is a fee for most delivery services and a minimum value amount that must be spent in order to qualify for delivery. While it may not be the best options for low income families, it can certainly help consumers avoid unnecessary trips to the store, especially if immune compromised. 1 The Independence Center | theindependencecenter.org • Instacart (membership required) o Website: https://www.instacart.com/ o Learn how it works by visiting https://www.goodhousekeeping.com/life/a32074052/what-is-instacart-and- how-does-it-work/ .
