Here’s the biggest recent retail takeovers, visualized as Pac-Men. Massive companies snap up other companies faster than you can say “waka waka!” This infographic from CouponFollow shows us a brief, simpler view of what’s been going on in retail. With Walmart and Amazon aggressively taking over much of the retail world, the options for where one can shop both in person and online has been exponentially shrinking. Especially in the past ten years, a handful of big companies have been anxious about successful e-commerce sites.
For some big retail chains, their strategy has been to ignore the problem, by and large. Those companies aren’t doing so well. For others like Walmart and The Home Depot, it’s been about snapping up each successful retail website in their niche space. And some, like Alibaba and Amazon, grew out of smaller online startups, and are now gobbling up other websites for their tech, branding, and expertise. What will happen in a few years? Will these giant Pac-Men turn to eat eachother?
