Thread regarding Whole Foods Market Inc. layoffs

The holidays are a bust.

We are comping negative 18.5 right now. Our future is so bright, I've got to wear shades.

Flat is not good. Read this in the trade mag Chain Store Age: Sprouts is showing Whole Foods how it's done..... The grocery chain reported results for the 13-week third quarter ended Sept. 27 that included: • Net sales of $903.1 million, an 18% increase from the same period in 2014

• Same-store sales growth of 5.8% and two-year same-store sales growth of 14.9% • For the fourth quarter, Sprouts expects same-store sales growth of 5% to 6%. NOT FLAT!!!

@flfallguy...flat aint what the venture capitalists that mackey loves soooo much are looking for in growth..all the cutting costs over the last ten years has been to appease these guys and make us look more profitable..now they have exhausted things they can amputate and now stores cannibalise one another,a great growth strategy..

It's only going to get worse. The word is out, they can't reverse the endless and ongoing mistakes that they have made. They will never regain the reputation that they once had, and that was the only valuable thing this corporation had. #TeamWFM #wholefoodsmarket

Wait till the week is over. Christmas was a day earlier last year which may have affected short term numbers. Down here all stores were black yesterday, red today. You could play a game of checkers on our sales sheets but they usually end up about flat at the end of a normal week.

With Mackey spewing his usual BS, things are going downhill fast.
