Cost Inflation Pressures Inflation in food, labor, and fuel prices pressures margins; labor shortages increase costs to attract and retain qualified associates.
Intense Market Competition Intense price competition from traditional and non-grocery retailers, alongside market consolidation, threatens competitive position.
