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, Chris and Anne discussed:
- The many angles to Aldi’s decision to sell back some of the stores it previously purchased from Southeastern Grocers (Source)
- How bullish they both are on Gap’s new vintage clothing play (Source)
- Why EG America’s new partnership with Quorso heralds a new age of store management technology (Source)
- If Save A Lot should be on everyone’s retailer to watch lists (Source)
- And closed with an examination of Instacart’s decision to pilot CPG brand tasks for its workers (Source)
There’s all that, plus Simbe’s Caitlin Allen stopped by for 5 Insightful Minutes on how to deploy AI and automation successfully at scale, along with Chunk Light Tuna, Ozempic blindness, and also how big of a creeper Chris would have been if he had asked his flight attendant what perfume she was wearing on his flight to Vegas this week.
Be careful out there,
– Chris, Anne, and the Omni Talk team
