Invite Friends Blog Sree Vijaykumar From the Editor's Desk Grocery is the most alluring and treacherous retail category. It lures retailers with shopping volume and frequency, and then sinks them with low margin. Amazon Fresh has lost money from spoilage at more than double the rate of a typical supermarket. Amazon's goal is to become a Top 5 grocery retailer by 2025, according to a person familiar with the matter.
