Episode Synopsis

In this week’s Omni Talk Retail Fast Five news roundup, sponsored by the A&M Consumer and Retail Group, Simbe, Mirakl, Ocampo Capital and Infios, A&M’s David Schneidman and Chris Creyts joined Chris and Anne to discuss:

- CVS Health’s rollout of “mini-stores,” i.e. smaller stores with pharmacies but a limited retail selection
- Loblaw identifying U.S. made products at shelf with a new tariff symbol
- Google Shopping’s new AI search features
- Reckitt’s claims that it has reduced product development lead times by over 60% with generative AI
- And closed with an examination of Portillo’s launch of its new loyalty program, not through an app, but through a digital wallet

There’s all that, plus Blue Steel, airline preferences, and moonlighting as social media influencers.
