In this week’s Omni Talk Retail Fast Five news roundup, sponsored by the A&M Consumer and Retail Group, Ownit AI, Avalara, Mirakl, and Ocampo Capital, A&M’s Chad Lusk and Adam Thompson, joined Chris and Anne to discuss:
- The “tall” order that awaits Starbucks’ new CEO (Source)
- Victoria’s Secret’s new CEO Hillary Super and what her first-year priorities should be (Source)
- Whether we should all buy or sell Best Buy’s new up-to-the-minute delivery monitoring as a point of differentiation (Source)
- If forced to pick just one, would they rather have the DashPass or Amazon Prime (Source)
- And closed with a look at Walmart’s decision to pull drones out of three states and if it signals the end of all the drone delivery hype (Source)
And, the Global Head of Digital Commerce at AWS even stopped by for 5 Insightful Minutes on how and where retailers should make investments in AI!
There’s all that, plus this month’s OmniStar (congrats Tony Costanzo of Torrid), dating deal breakers, Greek delicacies, and whether Adam is Team Alfie or Team Gabriel.
