Fast Five | Facebook Goes Ad Free, H&M B...

Omni Talk Retail
About this episode

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:

  • The recent pharmacy walkouts at CVS and Walgreens
  • H&M enabling customers to design their own clothes with AI
  • Schnucks taking local produce mobile merchandising to an unparalleled level
  • The implications of Instagram and Facebook offering ad-free subscriptions in Europe
  • Tommy Bahama opening its own coastal theme resort in, ironically, Palm Springs, of all places

There’s all that, plus magicians claiming they can make the moon disappear, crying fowl over pheasant hunting, and our favorite Chandler Bing memory.
