Explain how Whole Foods is able to compete against Walmart

What will be an ideal response?


Walmart owns the low-price position, so other grocery chains such as Whole Foods must position themselves differently. Rather than try to compete directly with Walmart, Whole Foods is positioned away from Walmart. It targets a smaller group of upscale customers and offers them organic, gourmet foods in a cheerful, aesthetically pleasing environment.
