Fast Five | Buy With Prime, American Eagle Makes ‘Frenemies,’ & Amazon’s Biggest Go Store Yet!

In this week’s Fast Five podcast, sponsored by Microsoft, the A&M Consumer and Retail Group, Takeoff, and Sezzle, Chris Walton and Anne Mezzenga had a ball discussing: - Amazon’s newest suburban store Amazon Go concept, replete with made-to-order food, and whether it could one day soon evolve into “the gas station of the future.” - A really interesting new store concept from online retailer MorningSave down in Texas that promises to meld the beauty of the online treasure hunt with in-store retailing. - Meta’s new “Meta store,” which is so meta, in and of itself, they couldn’t control themselves. - An idea coming out of American Eagle, called the “frenemy network,” which encourages apparel retailers to come together to share the costs of fulfillment. - And closed with a look at Buy with Prime and what it means for Amazon, consumers, and Shopify. There’s all that, plus hands-free beer buying, airline layovers in San Jose, and douches to rival Steff from Pretty in Pink.
