Amazon owns the Prime Video streaming service and the Whole Foods Market supermarket chain.
Jeff Bezos founded Amazon in 1994 as an online bookstore, and the company began operating as an internet bookseller in 1995. It later expanded into electronics, household goods, digital media, logistics, advertising, and cloud computing.
Amazon acquired Whole Foods Market in 2017. The deal gave Amazon a major physical-grocery presence and connected Whole Foods stores with its broader retail and delivery operations. Prime Video is part of Amazon's subscription ecosystem and offers films, television series, and original productions.
Amazon Web Services is another major part of the company, but it is distinct from Prime Video and Whole Foods. The company's broad mix of retail, cloud infrastructure, advertising, and subscriptions helps explain its position among the world's largest companies by market value.
