In this week’s Omni Talk Fast Five, sponsored by the A&M Consumer and Retail Group, Firework, SPS Commerce, and Sezzle, A&M’s Chad Lusk and David Schneidman joined Anne and me to discuss:
- The impact of Walmart’s new partnership with NBCUniversal
- Why in the world Sweetgreen would publicly announce its plans to deploy robots across all its locations over the next five years
- Shein’s decision to sell home appliances and cast a wider marketplace net
- REI opening its second Re/Supply store dedicated to resale
- And closed with an examination of whether ChatGPT inside of a Mercedes Benz could one day be the new way we are all ordering groceries
There’s all that, plus Hulkamania at the Mall of America, spinach at 2 AM, and two-strapping vs. one-strapping.
