Rouses has Prime though


I think that is WF's biggest problem. So many local and regional chains have upgraded their stores and products. And as others have noted, Trader Joe's is killing them.

They aren't that special place any longer that people only have one choice to get high end stuff. Rouses in the CBD even has a roof top garden. Even Dorignacs in Metairie renovated after not doing anything for a few decades and looks nicer and offers more nice stuff.

And as bad as Fresh Market is doing, they have to be hurting WF as well.

Fresh Market


Is a smaller version of Whole Foods with even higher prices.

Really great for consumers to have all the competition in that market. 20 years ago there probably wasn't a "high end" grocery store in the state.
