But remember, WFM didn't acquire those DCs. It was Amazon that bought our DCs. And they are a hot mess. Nothing makes any sense here, and Amazon is probably figuring out now that having 12 quasi-independent regions with bloated leadership payrolls, nice track lighting and pretty endcaps are not a logistics/distribution strategy.
So, what are we gonna do with this juggernaut?
