Hello Omni Talk Fans! I am trying something new today.
If you have yet to listen to the Retail Daily Minute podcast below, today you will find something different. Today I am debuting a new segment, one I am calling “My One Big Thought,” in which, at the end of the podcast, I give my analysis on the retail headline of the day that stands out to me the most.
I hope you enjoy this Day 1 trial!
In today’s Retail Daily Minute:
- Nike’s highly anticipated activewear collaboration with Skims launches Friday.
- Walmart becomes the first retailer to deliver refrigerated prescriptions nationwide, including insulin and GLP-1s, alongside groceries in a single order.
- Saks Global explores selling 49% of Bergdorf Goodman for $1 billion to unlock value and reduce debt following the Neiman Marcus acquisition.
- And, of course, my One Big Thought for the day
Plus, I share my Top Tips for Groceryshop and I also give you a quote from a movie in which skimming off the top is a key plot point.
