linked story on CNBC

    The grocery industry is highly fragmented. Privately held regional grocers, such as H-E-B in Texas and Publix in Florida, remain power players and command strong loyalty. Relative newcomers such as discounters Aldi and Lidl, and Amazon’s Amazon Fresh, have attracted customers, too. Plus, some Americans stock up on food at warehouse clubs such as Costco, Walmart-owned Sam’s Club and B.J.’s Wholesale.

#1 Walmart gets less than a quarter of the revenue. How much competition do you want?
