Macy's Store Closures, Amazon Scheduled Deliveries & How Do You Say ChatGPT In French?

In this week’s Omni Talk Fast Five retail news roundup, sponsored by the A&M Consumer and Retail Group, Wiliot, Avalara, TGW, and Sezzle, Chris and Anne discussed:

  • Macy’s bold decision to close 150 stores (Source: CNBC)
  • Why Amazon’s move to offer scheduled grocery delivery could be one of the most important headlines of the year (Source: Chain Store Age)
  • Microsoft's decision to fortify its Gen AI position by investing in Mistral AI (Source: Fast Company)
  • Schnucks breaking ground on its smart cart from Instacart pilot (Source: NBC 5 St. Louis)
  • And closed with an examination of Marc Lore’s restaurant startup, Wonder, opening up inside of a Walmart store (Source: Chain Store Age)

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