Whole Foods (WFM) is trying to change its reputation as a grocery with fresh food at high prices by opening a separate chain of lower-priced stores aimed at Millennials.
The new stores will cater to a younger generation of shoppers who are still interested in organic and natural foods but want a different shopping experience, executives said.
The company made the announcement Wednesday as part of its second-quarter earnings release. Whole Foods shares fell after the earnings announcement missed analyst expectations and continued to trend down Thursday, slumping nearly 10% to $43.07.
