In today’s Omni Talk Retail Fast Five Podcast, sponsored by Microsoft, the A&M Consumer and Retail Group, Takeoff, Sezzle, and Groceryshop, Anne Mezzenga and Chris Walton:
– Praised Walmart for their purchase of 4,500 electric delivery vehicles from Canoo.
– Examined all the reasons why Amazon is still investing in smart carts and is now planning to roll out its Dash Cart to Whole Foods.
– Discussed why retailers, like Walmart and others, should and should not participate in Prime Day.
– Gave Costco mad props for its June sales performance and its unbending will on hot dog pricing.
– And closed with a deep look into what Gopuff’s recent layoffs could tell us about the state of instant delivery.
There’s all that, plus “deloading,” college lacrosse smells, and Anne’s favorite schmear.
