In this week’s episode, brought to you in partnership with the A&M Consumer and Retail Group, Simbe, Mirakl, Ocampo Capital, Infios, and ClearDemand, former Target executives Chris Walton and Anne Mezzenga analyze this week’s biggest retail stories, including:
- Target’s questionable “acceleration office” strategy amid declining sales
- Sam’s Club’s game-changing $8.98 pizza delivery service
- Lowe’s strategic marketplace expansion with Mirakl
- Google’s AI-powered shopping checkout revolution
- Nike’s return to Amazon after six years.
The episode also features exclusive consumer sentiment data from A&M’s David Schneidman, revealing how consumers are cutting discretionary spending while embracing private label and loyalty programs.
The hosts deliver sharp criticism of Target’s leadership while praising innovative moves from Sam’s Club and Lowe’s that leverage technology and customer loyalty.
