據外媒報道,以有機、天然食品為主的美國全食連鎖超市(Whole Foods Market Inc.)為扭轉其價格偏高的形象,宣布將于明年開始開設另外一個價廉物美的超市,以滿足千禧代追求健康食品的現實需求。
為迎合年輕一代消費者對有機和天然食品的興趣,全食超市在周三宣布,將從明年開始擴大公司的業務范圍,在不影響現有全食超市銷售的情況下開拓另一個價格低廉,但保持高品質新鮮食品的連鎖超市。
全食的聯系首席執行官羅布(Walter Robb)稱,新的廉價超市將會具備“現代、流線型設計、創新的技術以及策展選擇”,為任何追求高品質新鮮食物的消費者提供優惠的價格。

Whole Foods (WFM) is trying to change its reputation as a grocery with fresh food at high prices by opening a separate chain of lower-priced stores aimed at Millennials.
The new stores will cater to a younger generation of shoppers who are still interested in organic and natural foods but want a different shopping experience, executives said.
The company made the announcement Wednesday as part of its second-quarter earnings release. Whole Foods shares fell after the earnings announcement missed analyst expectations and continued to trend down Thursday, slumping nearly 10% to $43.07.
