The hippie rode a bike to the store and he was wearing a super bright tie-dye t-shirt, a long beard and hair down to at least his hips. I admired the hippie man’s simplistic lifestyle choices,…

Most chains stick to one layout for all of their stores so that they can all be uniform and operate the same way. The way Whole foods does creates their stores makes more sense in adapting to their surroundings and letting each store be their own to a certain extent.

This is a great model…

Our world is constantly changing, and as technology changes, new competition arises that can create a boost for a certain company but can also hurt other companies. When Whole Foods started, there were…
