Amazon Autos, Best Buy’s Marketplace & The Potential Target Fiddelke Faux Pas | 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, Shoptalk’s Ben Miller joined Chris and Anne to discuss:

Target’s CEO Succession – Michael Fiddelke named as next CEO, sparking debate about internal vs. external leadership choices (Source)
Hertz Car Sales on Amazon Autos – Fleet dealer partnership expands used car marketplace with thousands of pre-owned vehicles in major markets (Source)
Best Buy’s Third-Party Marketplace Launch – 500 vetted sellers bring tech accessories and seasonal items to expand product selection (Source)
Walmart Canada BNPL with Klarna – Buy now, pay later comes to 400+ Canadian stores for purchases over $50 CAD (Source)
Fabletics RFID Rollout – Gray Orange’s G Store solution achieves 95-97% fill rates and 20% sales boost across 100+ locations (Source)

And AWS’s Daniele Stroppa also dropped by to help us hand hand August’s award for Retail Startup of the Month to Vody for its AI-optimized e-commerce data solutions.

There’s all that, plus Ben Miller’s Oasis concert review, Arsenal’s 15-year-old phenom Max Dohman, and whether coffee should always be “small and purposeful.”
