Fast Five | Walmart Earnings, Barnes & Noble Subscriptions & Why ThredUP Is Betting On Lucky 7

In this week’s Omni Talk Fast Five Podcast, sponsored by the A&M Consumer and Retail Group, Firework, Trigo, Sezzle, and Silk, Chris and Anne: - Tried to read the tea leaves in Walmart and Home Depot’s latest earnings reports - Lauded ThredUP’s new online store, 777Thrift, where everything is on sale for under $7. - Discussed Instagram calling it quits on live shopping and what it means for Meta’s future and the future of CPG advertising - Threw more shade at Instacart for Heinen’s ending its relationship with the delivery service - And closed with a counterintuitive take on why Barnes & Noble’s new subscription program may be a stroke of genius merchandising There’s all that, plus vegetable rationing, Patrón Margarita Generators, and everyone’s favorite made up holiday, Supermarket Appreciation Day.
