In this week’s Fast Five video, sponsored by Takeoff, the A&M Consumer and Retail Group, and Attentive, Chris Walton and Anne Mezzenga:
– Discuss the dangers of Sainsbury opening a checkout-free store in London that leverages Amazon’s “Just Walk Out” technology.
– Extol the many virtues of a combo Amazon Go and Starbucks store.
– Are happy and somewhat skeptical of the news that Target plans to close permanently on Thanksgiving.
– Throw patio umbrella shade at Best Buy for acquiring Yardbird.
– And, finish with a look at whether Kroger offering Google maps pickup at 2,000 stores across the country is cool or just PR sizzle.
Be careful out there,
– Chris, Anne, and the Omni Talk team
