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 discussed:
- Walmart testing a new technology in its stores that would let people open security locks for products with mobile devices (Source)
- The E.l.f. Beauty expansion into Dollar General (Source)
- The flurry of announcements from Instacart this past week on everything from Caper Carts to Carrot Tags (Source)
- Lowe’s debuting a new home platform for its loyalty members (Source)
- And closed with a look at the odd media sound bytes surrounding Amazon’s eight new Amazon Fresh store openings this week (Source)
There’s all that, plus the Vuori vs. Lululemon Battle Royale, falling raccoons, and what delicate aromas a sneaker sommelier would detect from Anne’s pre-owned Nikes.
