Episode description

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 Scratch Event DJs, Chris and Anne discussed:

• Walmart accelerating its rollout of digital shelf labels to all stores (Source)
• Cantaloupe’s innovations in smart vending for grocery stores (Source)
• Simbe augmenting its Tally Robot with fixed-positioned sensors (Source)
• DoorDash and Ibotta teaming up to offer DoorDash users better pricing (Source)
• And closed by debating whether or not “community spaces,” like the one recently launched by Giant Food, are ever a good idea (Source)

There’s all that, plus Todd Barentine of The Barcode Group stopped by for Five Insightful Minutes on Costco’s 2025 strategy, and we also announced this month’s OmniStar (congrats Christina Minardi of Whole Foods) and discussed Waymo, Peter, Paul, and Mary, and which member of the X-Men Anne would most want to go on a date with.
