Amazon’s Same-Day Push, Warby & Why Ulta Won’t Be Target’s Last Shop-In-Shop Regret | Fast Five

In this week’s Omni Talk Retail Fast Five, sponsored by the A&M Consumer and Retail Group, Mirakl, Ocampo Capital, Infios, and Quorso, Chris and Anne discussed:

Starbucks abandoning its mobile order, pickup-only store format due to lack of “warmth and human connection” (Source)
Warby Parker ending its home try-on program as most users live within 30 minutes of a store (Source)

Chris and Anne also handed out our monthly OmniStar award to Scott Casciato, VP of Global Logistics and Omnichannel Fulfillment at Dick’s Sporting Goods, and Ben Miller from Shoptalk dropped by for 5 Insightful Minutes on what to expect at this year’s Shoptalk Fall and Groceryshop conferences.

There’s all that, plus NFL Crocs, Harry Potter doughnuts, pawn shop back-to-school shopping, and whether Chris will ever upgrade from his OOFOS slides.
