Hello Omni Talk Fans! If you’ve ever been to Target with a child and thought getting through the dollar section was bad, just wait for Disney shop-in-shops to open in more stores. For those of you still going to Macy’s, well, I imagine you’ll be wandering around trying to locate where to pay for the Toys R Us item that your child begged you for.

Not to fear, this week’s newsletter is packed with some very special treats. The first, Anne Mezzenga’s Women’s Retail Collective interview with Forrester VP and Principal Analyst Sucharita Kodali. Did you know we almost lost Sucharita, one of retail’s brightest analysts, to Judd Apatow? Sucharita explains her very unique career journey and the full details of that story in this podcast. You can listen by selecting the feature above or clicking the link below.

The second treat, we’ve collected the top five headlines you should know about heading into this week in retail and they’re all right here:

1.
Fresh off the Ulta shop-in-shop launch, Target’s giving customers yet another reason to make theirs your only one-stop-shop. The retailer announced they’ll be expanding Disney shops in stores just in the St. Nick of time for holiday. (Read More)
2.
Macy’s is betting on toys to save the day. Yes, that sounds like the intro to Toy Story 7 and we’ve definitely seen this movie before. The retailer is hoping that bringing Toys R Us back to life, again, is the ticket to getting shoppers through 400 stores’ doors. (Read More)
3.
When toys become child’s play, Gen Alpha heads to Twitch and American Eagle is one of the exclusive brands that will be there to meet them. The retailer is collaborating with Twitch creators on curated lines of apparel that will be released in store and online in conjunction with creator content launches. (Read More)
4.
Target must’ve enjoyed the success from the launch of their first mixing center, because they’re adding four more. Houston, Dallas, Philadelphia, and Lawrenceville, GA are next on the list to welcome the speedy delivery sortation centers. (Read More)
5.
Finally, we know it’s August and many of you have been out on vacation. So, in the hope you’ve disconnected for the last week, we had to include the news that Amazon is getting into the department store biz and you’d better believe we’re not talking about a Macy’s with an Amazon logo slapped on it. This week’s Omni Talk Fast Five is sure to have a healthy debate on what you should expect though, so make sure to tune in. (Read More)

We’ve also got another LinkedIn Live event coming up tomorrow at 12:30 EST. Anne Mezzenga and Epsilon SVP of Client Development Lisa Collings will be diving in to the questions you should be asking your digital marketing partners as we head into the last part of the year.

Hope to see you and be careful out there,

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