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. That would require more than $30 billion in annual food and beverage spending through its sites, up from $8.7 billion - including Amazon Fresh and all other food and drink sales - in 2016, according to Cowen & Co.
