Hello Omni Talk Fans. Friday is upon us, and this week's Fast Five podcast closes out the week with a discussion of some of the more curious retail headlines of late.
In Today's Fast Five episode, Anne and I talk:
- Walmart removing its in-store pickup towers and how the announcement, despite the headlines, is about way more than robotics.
- Gopuff nabbing a 20 year Amazon veteran to head up operations after its latest $1 billion financing round.
- The hilarious Amazon vs. Walmart battle over cool sounding in-home delivery PR. For the record, Amazon wins hands down, and I make no bones about it, calling in-home fridge delivery one of the worst ideas Walmart has had in the past five years.
- Instagram's new marketplace to connect creators and brands.
- And why a new Harry Potter store in NYC highlights everything that is right about physical retail, even though it really has nothing to do with retail.
