VETERINARY services provider and pet care retailer Greencross (ASX: GXL) says it is prepared for the pending arrival of Amazon because it has a unique business model which differentiates it from the online retail behemoth.
At the company's AGM, Greencross chairman Stuart James says the Brisbane-based company is well placed and ready for Amazon's arrival as the largest employer of vets in Australasia with more than 650 of them.
"A lot has been made recently of the potential impact of Amazon on the Australian retail landscape," James says.
"In response to this discussion, it is worth pointing out that our business has many unique features which differentiate us from both online and bricks-and-mortar competitors."
"In a world where pet consumers are increasingly seeking professional advice on medical and nutritional issues for their pets, our unparalleled veterinary expertise is an asset which sets us apart from others.
"We truly provide a one-stop shop for pet owners with veterinary services, grooming salons, dog wash, pet insurance, pet hotel booking, dog walking and sitting and obedience training all conveniently available in a single location." Read more
