Independent retail analyst and former Shoptalk VP of Content Ben Miller joined Chris Walton this week as they unpacked Kroger's latest acquisition, Amazon's AI ambitions, Lowe's marketplace expansion, New Jersey's pricing legislation, and the rise of agentic commerce. Together, they debated what Giant Eagle's sale says about the future of the grocery industry, why successful AI starts with adoption, whether Lowe's has cracked the omnichannel code, and how Amazon is laying the foundation for the next generation of AI-powered shopping.
