Fast Five | Schnucks Gets Smart, NRF Predicts A Big Back-to-School & Target Shorts Itself

In this week’s Omni Talk Fast Five, sponsored by the A&M Consumer and Retail Group, Firework, SPS Commerce, and Sezzle, A&M's Abhinav Chandra and Manola Soler joined Chris and Anne to debate:

  • The level of hyperbole in NRF’s predictions surrounding “unparalleled” Back-to-School sales
  • Why in the world Schnucks would throw Instacart a Caper Cart lifeline?
  • H&M’s move to sell more third-party products
  • Whether getting into fine jewelry resale is a smart move for Signet Jewelers
  • And closed with a lively discussion about whether Target will regret its decision to allow its store employees to wear shorts in long-run

There’s all that, plus pinky rings, Agatha Christie scares, and Taco Tuesdays.
