Fast Five | Kohl's Spinoffs, DoorDash In An Instant, & Why Wayfair Is Too Smart For Its Own Good

In this week’s Fast Five podcast, sponsored by Takeoff, the A&M Consumer and Retail Group, and Attentive, Chris Walton and Anne Mezzenga: - Examine Jewel-Osco's new microfulfillment partnership with Takeoff. - Question the activist pushing for a Kohl's e-commerce spinoff. - Put marketplaces square in our sights as one of the most overhyped tech trends of 2021, following Giant Food's plan to build one. - Discuss what DoorDash's announcement of instant delivery in NYC means for the last-mile delivery landscape. - And close with the rant to end all rants on why Wayfair will never succeed in opening up physical retail stores as long as Niraj Shah is at the helm. There's all that, plus what Anne would name her hedge fund, dames, and the great Amy's Kitchen debate -- i.e. frozen enchilada or frozen burrito?
