Amazon.com is extending its corporate staff programs, including pay structure and benefits, to U.S. corporate employees at Whole Foods supermarkets to integrate its grocery businesses more closely. Benefits for all corporate employees across grocery units will be fully aligned by December 2026, with Whole Foods Market corporate employees retaining in-store discount perks until then. They will also receive a 10% discount on Amazon merchandise and gain access to deals on phone plans, car insurance, and more. Amazon aims to create a consistent experience across teams and streamline collaboration across divisions like Whole Foods and Amazon Fresh. The company is investing over $4 billion to expand its delivery network in the U.S. by 2026, focusing on small towns and rural areas. Amazon acquired Whole Foods in 2017, aiming to compete with retailers like Walmart and delivery services like Instacart.
