Another quarter with monstrous growth of which most was expected due to the Whole Foods acquisition. A few major themes:

  • The Shift is On: The shift to brick and mortar continues as stores now account for 8% of sales and online accounts for 54%, down from 68% last year.
  • Services, Services, Services: Growth including AWS was phenomenal...and profitable.
