Consumers view Whole Foods Markets as being very expensive and have given the retailer the nickname “Whole Paycheck”. Whole Foods carries a wider variety of organic foods and healthier brands besides their private brands. Whole Foods is experiencing a decline in sales due to other stores; like Wal-Mart, who are stocking organic foods at much lower prices; which has decreased differentiation (Lutz, 2014). Its decentralized business model decreases efficiency in procurement, distribution, and marketing efforts.

Buyers: While the original strategy was to offer only high-quality pizza, customer preferences began to shift gradually which required expanded menu options for items to complement pizza such as desserts and other creative menu items.

This helps with improving the company and determining what to continue doing and what needs to be changed. The strengths and weaknesses section of the SWOT analysis are considered to be an internal environment. With that being said, one of the strengths of Hutch’s Skinny Eats is that we are compassionate about our customers. We want our customers to feel like they are family, and want them to be happy with the business they are receiving. As well as they are happy about the results they are seeing throughout their bodies. Another strength of the company is that the cost of the products/services are considerably lower than they would be if the customers tried to get the same services from a doctor’s office. The ability to provide customers the immense amount of knowledge to help them in achieving their body goals is what we strive to provide the consumers. This helps the customers because they feel more relaxed and are going to be more open with what problems they are experiencing with their weight loss, struggle areas, and so forth. Normally, when someone would go to their doctors it can be very nerve racking and we want the customers to know that they are not alone.
