She’ll discuss managing the pandemic-related surge in demand for delivery.
| | | Hi, Amazon recently announced the opening of a new Whole Foods in Brooklyn. The catch: It won’t be available for in-store shoppers but will exclusively service online delivery. This first-of-its-kind experiment for Whole Foods is one of Amazon’s many strategic maneuvers to accommodate the surge in demand for grocery delivery due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Delivery sales for Amazon Fresh and Whole Foods quadrupled year over year the week of March 16 as the reality of coronavirus stay-at-home restrictions set in. Is the online-exclusive Whole Foods location a model for the future of grocery, or is it a measure to accommodate temporary changes in demand during the pandemic? Jason Del Rey will ask Amazon Worldwide Grocery Vice President Stephenie Landry about her leadership decisions during the grocery delivery spike, which trends in grocery she predicts will stick, and a whole lot more. Join us for this complimentary live event series made possible by Klarna. |
