They don't really care about the customer base. They figure their own customer base is bigger than anybody else's already. They wanted an in on the grocery retail business, and WF was a way in.
I guess we will have to just wait and see what happens. Normally when one company buys another, they say "nothing will change," which means that in six months all trace of the thing will be gone.
Personally, I'm not looking forward to the change. One of the things I like about WF is that they're pretty good about stocking products from local/regional producers. And they have a pretty good cheese section. I'm betting Amazon will not care about these things.
