Technology will be a huge factor going forward, leading Whole Foods CEO John Mackey to say "we’re gonna get a lot of those innovations in our stores." One possible example is faster checkout lines. Online ordering should pick up, according to the Food Marketing Institute and Nielsen, with 20%-25% of grocery sales expected to come via the web by 2025.

Mackey expects Whole Foods to adopt the Amazon mantra focused on long-term growth and a better customer experience rather than concerns for short-term profits that please investors.
