- Ulta Beauty’s decision to pause its Target shop-in-shop expansion
Walmart’s new Trend-to-Product AI tool to speed up product development
- Sam’s Club’s expansion plans
- DoorDash’s AI enhancements to help its quick-service restaurant partners
- And closed with a look at what Hy-Vee’s decision to close its bars and to end its full-service dining offering means for the “experiential” retail trend

There’s all that, plus faceplants, crosswalk hacks, and Anne also asks Chris to design his very own Omni Talk uniform.
