| | 🛒 Amazon Awakes From Slumber With Groceries | Who is the largest grocer in the United States? | If you answered Walmart, you’re correct – by far. Walmart claims more than one in every five dollars spent on groceries. | But the sector is split beyond that, with no other brands claiming even a 9% share: | 1. Walmart: 21.2%
2. Kroger: 8.6%
3. Costco: 8.5%
4. Albertsons: 5%
5. Publix: 4.1%
6. Sam’s Club: 4.0%
7. Ahold Delhaize: 3.9%
8. Aldi: 2.8%
9. Target: 2.4%
10. HEB: 1.9%
11. Dollar General: 1.8%
12. 7-Eleven: 1.7%
13. Whole Foods: 1.6%
T14. Wakefern: 1.4%
T14. Trader Joe’s: 1.4%

Amazon appears to be actively working on its grocery offerings after doing little with Whole Foods for nearly a decade. | With advances in technology and ever-faster logistics, can Amazon gobble up greater market share in the years to come? | | 📊 Stat of the Day | | | 💰️ Deal Alert: Today’s Top Deals | | | | | 🎙️ Podcast | | Full Show: Don’t Make This 401(k) Mistake and Small Businesses Are Your Biggest Opportunity |
