Amazon’s $14 billion deal to buy Whole Foods — its largest acquisition ever — gives Jeff Bezos a chance to rebuild the struggling organic grocery chain from the ground up, if he wants to. So far, predictions include that the e-commerce giant will find ways to lower costs to help scrub away the chain’s “Whole Paycheck” image, punch up its own foundering grocery-delivery service, and bring Whole Foods’ tech infrastructure into the year 2017.
