365 by Whole Foods Market

Whole Foods Market, Inc. has been a wholly owned subsidiary of Amazon.com, Inc. (Nasdaq: AMZN) since the acquisition closed on August 28, 2017. Amazon is headquartered in Seattle and consolidates Whole Foods Market's results into its own, per Amazon's fiscal year 2017 form 10-K; both the parent's headquarters and its listing venue are in the United States.

• Amazon.com, Inc. Form 10-K (fiscal year 2017) filing “The financial results of Whole Foods Market, Inc. ("Whole Foods Market") have been included in our consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition on August 28, 2017.”

365 covers thousands of SKUs and Whole Foods does not publish a plant-by-plant breakdown. The one location it names is its organic fusilli pasta, made in Italy; the bulk of the range is assumed to run through US contract manufacturers serving Whole Foods' domestic private-label supply chain, so this mix is an estimate rather than a confirmed count.

Whole Foods operates about 14 stores in Canada, all in British Columbia and Ontario (as of the last confirmed count, five each in Greater Vancouver and Greater Toronto plus one each in Ottawa and Victoria), staffed by local retail employees. Corporate direction and merchandising for the 365 brand sit with the US parent, so a smaller share is counted as US; no employee headcount by country is published.

365's Pacific Rim Coffee uses arabica beans from smallholder farmers in the Pacific Rim Islands and Latin America, and its chocolate bars, chips and baking chocolate are Fair Trade certified, both OTHER; its pasta uses Italian wheat, EU. No ingredient breakdown is published for the rest of the range, which is assumed to draw mainly on US agriculture given Whole Foods' domestic supply chain.
