Omni Talk Retail

In today’s Omni Talk Retail Fast Five Podcast, sponsored by Microsoft, the A&M Consumer and Retail Group, Takeoff, Sezzle, and Silk, Chris and Anne discuss: - The implications of a U.S. grocer licensing Amazon’s Just Walk Out technology for the first time. - Macy’s deployment of FIT:MATCH’s mobile fit technology for bra fitting in 10 of its high volume stores - Walmart CEO Doug McMillon’s ambiguous claim that mounting theft could force Walmart to raise prices and close stores. - An interesting new concierge service from Dropit that recently rolled out at The Galleria mall in Houston. - And, closed with a look at McDonald’s new pickup forward test store and what it means for how retailers should approach innovation. There’s all that, plus my pragmatic musings from Chris on artificial vs. live Christmas trees, AI rabbit holes, and Anne’s favorite word to put “Viva” in front of.

In today’s Omni Talk Retail Fast Five Podcast, sponsored by Microsoft, the A&M Consumer and Retail Group, Takeoff, Sezzle, and Silk, Chris and Anne: - Questioned whether anything of note could be gleaned from reports that Walmart and others pushed Amazon to fourth place in Black Friday online searches. - Discussed whether the way Target has rolled out Starbucks curbside pickup is “Expect More, Pay Less” or really “Expect More, Pay More.” - Evaluated the likely reception of a slew of new AWS retail technology product launches. - Grew skeptical of Rite Aid’s ability to pull off a new small store concept in “pharmacy deserts.” - And closed with an all-time zinger from Anne about Macy’s new Claire’s shop-in-shops.
