The e-commerce food industry is changing

Competition in the grocery sector continues to heat up as Kroger considers purchasing online wholesaler Boxed.
With the news of Amazon, the world’s largest online retailer, buying Whole Foods for $137 billion last year, the U.S. grocery market looked for ways to compete.  In December, Target announced that they would be buying the same-day delivery service Shipt.
Boxed sells bulk products such as dish soap and chips to customers’ front door. Kroger’s consideration occurs as more shoppers order their products online. The New York-based company is expecting more offers within the next couple of weeks as Morgan Stanley advises.
Kuecker Logistics Group is a leader in the warehousing distribution automation industry. The changes we are now seeing pushed forward by Amazon means the grocery industry must change and change fast and we can assist in that change. Call Jim today at 816-348-3100 tell him Joe sent you!
