In this week’s Fast Five video podcast, sponsored by Microsoft, the A&M Consumer and Retail Group, Takeoff, and Sezzle, Chris and Anne discuss:
– Amazon’s shrewd move and likely “deke” to close 68 physical stores.
– Lululemon finally getting into footwear.
– Dollar General trying to become everyone’s new local bank.
– Walmart’s extremely disappointing new fit technology it unveiled this past week.
– And close with a look at why Ryan Cohen’s letter to the Bed Bath & Beyond Board of Directors may be the coolest thing we have seen in a long time.
There’s all that, plus Blind Dutchmen, more Sesame Street references, and why ventriloquists don’t have podcasts.
