Today’s Retail Daily Minute Mon, 11 May 2026

Hello Omni Talk Fans! I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend. I got to celebrate Mother’s Day and my son's birthday on the same day this year, and we made a very special weekend of it as a family.

In today’s Retail Daily Minute:

  • Costco reported April net sales of $23.92 billion, up 13% year over year, with total comparable sales rising 11.6%, as the membership warehouse model continues to demonstrate remarkable resilience in any macro environment.
  • Dutch Bros delivered first-quarter revenue of $464.4 million, up 30.8% and ahead of estimates, posting its seventh consecutive quarter of positive transaction comps while raising full-year guidance and upping its 2026 new-store target to at least 185 locations on a clear path to 2,029 shops by 2029.
  • Amazon launched Join the Chat inside its Hear the Highlights feature, allowing shoppers to ask AI hosts real-time questions while listening to audio product summaries.

Plus, Producer Ella’s latest takeaways montage from RTS London, and a movie quote from a literal Dutch Bro, Jeroen Krabbé.
