In this week’s Omni Talk Retail Fast Five news roundup, sponsored by the A&M Consumer and Retail Group, Simbe, Mirakl, Ocampo Capital, and Scratch Event DJs, Shoptalk’s VP of Original Content & Strategy, Ben Miller, joined Chris and Anne to discuss:
- CVS Health’s new app rollout (Source)
- Beyond buying back BuyBuy Baby (Source)
- Walgreens’ plans to close down 47 of its in-store health clinics in Illinois (Source)
- IKEA’s decision to expand its secondhand furniture marketplace in Europe (Source)
- And closed with a discussion of whether Walmart+ and Walmart same-day Rx delivery will have the same impact on the pharmacy industry that Walmart+ has had on the grocery business (Source)
There’s all that, plus we announced our February OmniStar (congrats Joe Coll of Macy’s), and Chris and Anne grill Ben on everything from #Tayvoodoo and the Fantastic 4 to what American-made products Ben plans to sneak back home to the UK from Las Vegas in his suitcase.
