Fast Five | Hy-Vee Takes Off, Netflix Opens Stores & Walmart Does AR Beauty In An Insanely Fun Way

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

  • Hy-Vee breathing life into microfulfillment once again by way of its recently announced implementation with Takeoff
  • The aforementioned AR beauty experience within Walmart’s app
  • Netflix’s new store plans
  • Shipt’s support of a legal framework that allows gig workers to receive benefits while retaining their independent contractor status
  • And closed with a look at why Amazon Fresh being named the first-ever zero carbon grocery store says so much about the right way to think about smart store design

There’s all that, plus our favorite ghosts, “Billionaire Bunker,” and Avalara's George Trantas stopped by to give us 5 Insightful Minutes on e-commerce tax compliance.
