North American wholesale distributor United Natural Foods confirmed this week that it was forced to take some of its systems offline after noticing unauthorized activity. At a financial quarter meeting Tuesday, June 10, CEO Sandy Douglas said the wholesale distributor is only supplying customers on a "limited basis" amid the crisis. "We are partnering with customers across the country and across our formats in various short term mode to serve their needs as best as we possibly can," Douglas told investors. "Any way that we can help them meet their needs, we're doing." The company is working with the FBI and other authorities to determine how to resume services and why the technology defenses failed, according to Douglas. "We just got penetrated, so we will be continuing to look at every aspect of our defense, every aspect of how our tools are working, and what may be necessary to bolster it going forward, because it's clearly an area that requires a tremendous amount of focus from companies today," he said. Users on social media have reported shelves being empty at some Whole Foods locations with signs apologizing for the inconvenience and promising to resupply soon. A Whole Foods spokesperson told USA TODAY on Monday, June 9 that the supermarket chain is working to restock its shelves as fast as possible and said it apologizes for any inconveniences. CEO says it informed investors as soon as it could When asked why the company hesitated to inform investors about the cyberattack and system shutdown, Douglas denied there being a delay. Douglas clarified company officials noticed unauthorized activity in its systems on June 5 and investigated whether it was isolated. By the afternoon of June 6, the company made the decision to lock its systems down. On June 9, it filed a Form 8-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to inform shareholders before the market opened. "So there is no way that we could have communicated any faster, and there was no trading," Douglas added. He also he was unable to confirm whether the shutdown has required customers to break contracts, adding "I wouldn't be able to factually answer that question, even if I was inclined to disclose it." "The focus is making sure we serve the customers and have them be able to do whatever they need to do the best they can in this environment," he said.

‘Global arms race with artificial intelligence': TN rep. supports xAI project moving forward
MEMPHIS, Tenn. — A state representative from Memphis says he supports Elon Musk's xAI, and says the company is planning up to eight more sites in the area. Republican state Rep. John Gillespie's comments came after state representatives had a press conference on Tuesday against the project moving forward. 'Why is economic development always at the cost of poor folk? Always at the cost of low wel people? We as a city have to have higher self-esteem, we as a city have to believe better about who we are,' said State Rep. Justin J. Pearson, (D-Memphis). Pearson and other democratic lawmakers met with Memphis Mayor Paul Young on Tuesday. Republican Rep. John Gillespie (R-Memphis) says he was there too, and he has a different take on xAI. Memphis mayor meets with state leaders over xAI concerns 'I'm extremely excited and the potential of all the other things that will follow,' said Gillespie. 'We're in a global arms race with artificial intelligence.' 'We're competing not with Silicon Valley, but we're actually competing with China and Russia, and North Korea. xAI and people at xAI have said that they plan on winning that arms race,' said Gillespie. In a statement, he talked about the large amount of tax dollars the company brings also saying, 'Hundreds of Memphians are currently working in construction as xAI plans to build on at least eight sites in Shelby County. ' Rep. Justin Pearson, NAACP aim to halt xAI project in Memphis 'Right now if you do look up, xAI has four sites right now that they have and they've publicly said more are to come. I don't know how many that number is, I hope it's more than eight but I suspect it will be more than eight as well,' said Gillespie. 'Well the data that I've seen and the health department has confirmed and the manufacturer of the turbines have also confirmed, they have technology on there that makes it no more than a dry cleaning or a gas station,' said Gillespie. Mayor Paul Young said there are plans to bring more community-based testing of the air quality in the area of xAI. 'My goal is to make sure our people are protected from a health perspective and that we use this project to boost our city economically,' said Mayor Young. Gillespie says he's all for the testing. It's unclear when that testing will be happening in southwest Memphis and the Boxtown community. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
