Podcast:Omni Talk Retail Published On: Thu Sep 07 2023 Description: In this week’s Omni Talk Fast Five, sponsored by the A&M Consumer and Retail Group, Firework, SPS Commerce, and Sezzle, Chris and Anne: - Called Giant Foods' decision to implement receipt checks and to pull branded merchandise from its shelves a momentous moment in the history of retail. - Enjoyed riffing on the seemingly best frenemies that Shopify and Amazon have become in light of their new Buy With Prime partnership. - Hotly debated Under Armour's hiring of John Varvatos as its new Chief Design Officer (Anne loved it; Chris did not). - Both surprisingly supported JCP's $1 billion turnaround plan. - And closed with a salute and a watch out for Ulta over the recent tripling of its ship-from-store locations. There's all that, plus in-flight biohazards, sex ring code words, and whether Taylor Swift will gross a cool billion at the box office.
