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, Chris and Anne took to the Windy City to discuss:
- Grabango calling it quits and what it means for the future of Just Walk Out-like tech
- Exciting new AI updates from Google Shopping
- Amazon’s decision to unify its e-commerce efforts across Amazon.com, Amazon Fresh, and Whole Foods
- JD Sports new reJD resale effort
- And closed with a look at why Amazon adding a microwarehouse to a Whole Foods in Pennsylvania could be a horrible idea for Whole Foods shoppers in the long-run
There’s all that, plus childhood career dreams, a ranking of quick-serve fried chicken restaurants, and the last time Anne snapped into a Slim Jim.
