In this week’s Omni Talk Retail Fast Five news roundup, sponsored by the A&M Consumer and Retail Group, Wiliot, Avalara, TGW, and Sezzle, Chris and Anne discussed:

• Target expanding its wholesale relationship with Hudson’s Bay (Source: BNN Bloomberg)
• Instacart and Uber Eats’ intriguing new partnership (Source: Joint Instacart and Uber Eats Press Release)
• Walmart’s new in-store AI tools for produce and apparel (Source: CNBC)
• Happy Returns enabling Shein returns at Forever 21 stores (Source: Supply Chain Dive)
• And closed with a look at whether mobile ordering is one idea Starbucks wishes it could disinvent (Source: CX Dive)

There’s all that, plus NYC apartments furnished to look like Skittles, beer ballads, and the Monopoly token Anne thinks she resembles most.
