Nike Does Boutique Fitness, Wawa Goes Shelfless & Amazon Debuts Just Walk Out Apparel

In this week’s Omni Talk Fast Five, sponsored by the A&M Consumer and Retail Group, Firework, SPS Commerce, and Sezzle, Chris and Anne:

• Politely disagreed on whether Nike should be getting into the boutique gym business
• Tried to understand all the angles and reasons why Wawa would pilot a shelfless store in Philly
• Threw tremendous shade at JD Sports for piloting in-store AR mirrors
• Put themselves in the mind of a local florist (as they have always wanted to do) and asked, “Why in the world would we ever want to help deliver Amazon packages through Amazon Hub?”
• And closed with unbridled enthusiasm over Amazon bringing its Just Walk Out technology into apparel this week

A&M's Chad Lusk even stopped by to give us 5 Insightful Minutes on in-store grocery technology.
