In this week’s Omni Talk Retail Fast Five, sponsored by the A&M Consumer and Retail Group, Mirakl, Ocampo Capital, Infios, and Quorso, Chris and Anne discussed:
- OpenAI’s announcement of ChatGPT Instant Checkout with Etsy (Source)
- Early data showing Costco’s extended hours for Executive Members may be a home run (Source)
- Amazon’s decision to close all Fresh stores in the UK (Source)
- Sprouts Farmers Market opening 20 in-store coffee shops in California (Source)
- DoorDash launching ‘Going Out’ with restaurant reservations and in-store rewards (Source)
And AWS’s Daniele Stroppa also dropped by to help us hand out September’s Retail Tech Startup of the Month.
There’s all that, plus dirty soda, Vegas transportation preferences, and whether Chris would spare a square in a Chinese public toilet.
