Amazon May Have a New Plan to Take on Takeout
Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN) already challenges supermarkets in a number of ways, including offering grocery delivery in an ever-growing number of markets through its Fresh service. And, of course, the chain will be stepping up its grocery game when it completes its $13.7 billion purchase of Whole Foods Market, a deal expected to close before the end of 2017.
The online leader also has its sights set on two other food markets. First, it has been using AmazonFresh in some markets to offer meal-prep kits, like the ones sold by Blue Apron. That's a logical move since meal kits are nothing more than fresh ingredients sold in pre-portioned packages coupled with a recipe.
Amazon's second food effort, however, is much more exotic, The retailer has been testing ready-to-eat meals that don't require refrigeration.
