Fast Five | Amazon One Ups (And Obsoletes) Social Commerce

In the latest edition of the Omni Talk Fast Five, sponsored by the A&M Consumer & Retail Group and Takeoff, Chris Walton, Anne Mezzenga, and Emma the Intern talk: – Albertsons rolling out more microfulfillment centers – Fabletics' store expansion plans and its unique position in the athleisure market – Dollar General's new Popshelf concept and some mind blowing statistics from Nielsen that might make you think the concept is going to be quite successful – Amazon's new NFL deal, its push to sell products on Amazon Music, and how social commerce now seems like a small scale and pedestrian idea – And, what's cooler about 7-Eleven's new concept store -- that it has a drive-thru or that it also serves frozen margaritas? Will leave the last one for you to decide.
