Earlier this month: Kroger was going after Boxed.com
Then last week it was Overstock.com
Now Alibaba?
What will it be next week?
And what happened to selling off the c-stores?

It has put remodels and new build stores on hold, it's courting any and every online retailer that isn't Amazon, and it seems to have lost focus on its core operation.
