Fast Five | Macy’s Store Closures, Amazon Scheduled Deliveries & How Do You Say ChatGPT In French?

Hello Omni Talk Fans! Anne and I are in my hometown of Phoenix, AZ set to keynote Bureau Veritas' annual Spring Forum.

It is our third time presenting at this conference, and we always enjoy the experience and the insights we learn into the building and construction side of retail store operations.

The beginning of our week also took us to fabulous Palm Springs for eTail West, where we once again livestreamed interviews with some big time executives from Target, Sam's Club, COS and more! I will also plan to recap them all in full for you in one of our Retail Daily Minute updates next week so stay tuned!

It's also Friday, so you know what that means . . .

In this week's Fast Five Podcast, Anne and I discussed:

  • Macy’s bold decision to close 150 stores?
  • Why Amazon’s move to offer scheduled grocery delivery could be one of the most important headlines of the year
  • Microsoft's decision to fortify its Gen AI position by investing in Mistral AI
  • Schnucks breaking ground on its smart cart from Instacart pilot?
  • And closed with an examination of Marc Lore’s restaurant startup, Wonder, opening up inside of a Walmart store?

There’s all that, plus Big Bad Voodoo Daddy, imaginary dinner dates with Minka Kelly, and the merits of a fried chicken pizza mashup.

Be careful out there,

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

P.S. The legal considerations surrounding generative AI and item data -- I can't think of two more important topics that should be on the mind of every C-Level executive in retail. I don't care who you are. They are just that important.

Which is why they are our focus for our next two live discussions on LinkedIn with Microsoft and SPS Commerce.
