Walmart’s Bait & Switch 2, Costco Gas & More Grocery Sound & Fury From Amazon

In this week’s Omni Talk Retail Fast Five, sponsored by the A&M Consumer and Retail Group, Simbe, Mirakl, Ocampo Capital, Infios, and ClearDemand, A&M Brooks Levering and Bryson Waterman joined Chris and Anne to discuss:

  • Walmart’s stroke of merchandising genius around the Nintendo Switch 2 launch (Source)
  • Amazon restructuring around its “One Grocery” strategy (Source)
  • H&M’s plans to reverse its market share declines through AI and store efficiency gains (Source)
  • Albertsons’ decision to go all-in on in-store video (Source)
  • And closed with a look at why in the world Costco would want to build its own standalone gas stations (Source)

There’s all that, plus Lowe’s VP Michael McCluskey stopped by for 5 Insightful Minutes on Marketplaces, and Chris and Anne asked Brooks and Bryson about everything from Cheerios and Corvettes to what makes the perfect breakfast sandwich.
