Amazon.com Inc. will acquire Whole Foods Market Inc. in a $13.7 billion deal, marking the biggest transaction ever for the e-commerce giant as it pushes deeper into groceries.

Amazon will pay $42 a share in cash for the organic-food chain, the companies said on Friday. John Mackey, Whole Foods’ outspoken co-founder and chief executive officer, will continue to run the business.

I wish Amazon would just stick to what they do best. It's like the Peter Principle for businesses.

Why would I go to whole foods when I can go to Trader Joe's or Fresh Market for the same, if not better quality and pay less?
