WHOLE FOODS aim to stay ahead of Wal-Mart

One of Whole Foods Market’s goals is to “keep innovating to stay ahead of Wal-Mart,” according to the company’s chief operating officer Walter Robb. In an interview with The Oregon, Robb said, “We see ourselves as leaders, not followers, and Wal-Mart is the follower here. They are taking some important steps, and I hope they are being sincere. Everyone (in Portland) should be happy to see one of the world's largest corporations taking steps to be a more responsible operator and offering more choices.”
