Fast Five | Chris Returns To Rant About Amazon, Walmart, and Toys R Us

In the latest edition of the Omni Talk Fast Five, sponsored by the A&M Consumer & Retail Group and Takeoff, Chris Walton rejoins Anne Mezzenga on the show after a long medical absence to discuss: – Amazon's move into department stores. – The insanity that is Macy's new Toys R Us partnership. – All the sizzle without the steak in Walmart's new GoLocal delivery service concept. – The positive and potentially negative repercussions of Shipt's new preferred shopper innovation. – And why Warby Parker just may not be the city on the hill of omnichannel retailing that so many people have made them out to be for the past decade.
