Hello Omni Talk Fans! Shoptalk 2025 is in the books. Anne and I spent the week immersing ourselves in the latest trends, interviewing retail executives from all walks of life, and trying to get as much R&R as we could during our breaks.

The conference was as frenetic as ever, and we wouldn't have it any other way. We even managed to squeeze in our weekly podcast right from the show floor, too!

In this week's Fast Five Podcast, Anne and I discussed:

• Best Buy's groundbreaking launch of Social+ with Meta (Source)
• Amazon aggressively pricing Amazon Haul at 50% off during its Big Spring Sale (Source)
• Klarna and DoorDash's new partnership (Source)
• Edible Arrangements getting into . . .  edibles (Source)
• And closed with a look at if Target's test of "Brown Box Delivery" via Shipt drivers is an efficiency play, PR puff, or both (Source)

There's all that, plus Christina Aguilera Orange Theory workout jams, airport food to avoid, and whether it is ever ok to wear socks to bed.

Be careful out there,

-- Chris, Anne, and the entire Omni Talk team

P.S. Anne and I once again rounded up one of the best, if not the best, lineups of retail executive interviews of any media company out there. We interviewed executives from Walmart, Sam's Club, DoorDash, Albertsons, Five Below, CVS Health and much, much more!
