Fast Five | Walmart’s ‘Salesforce,’ Rent The Runway’s Desperation & Starbucks Dashed To Your Door
Podcast:Omni Talk Retail Published On: Thu Jan 19 2023 Description: In this week’s Omni Talk Fast Five Podcast, sponsored by the A&M Consumer and Retail Group, Firework, Trigo, Sezzle, and Silk, A&M's Jonathan Sharp and Michael Prendergast stopped by and joined Anne and Chris to discuss: - Their mutual admiration for Walmart’s Salesforce partnership and how Walmart is positioning its technology services. - Starbucks going national with DoorDash and whether it signals the start of “the third place” being fully replaced by working from home. - Whether Rent The Runway selling on Amazon is shrewd or just plain desperate. - Trigo’s first U.S. store that debuted this week with Wakefern Food Corp.. - And closed with a “there’s more to the story than there appears” take on Portillo's decision to make all its drive-thrus cashless. There’s all that, plus Big New Yorkers, exchanging services for something other than money, and the grossest things they could realistically imagine finding in a box of Legos. P.S.
