In this week’s Omni Talk Retail Fast Five news roundup, sponsored by the A&M Consumer and Retail Group, Simbe, Mirakl, Ocampo Capital, and Scratch Event DJs, A&M’s Kelly Carey and John Clear joined Chris and Anne to discuss:

• Walmart’s new Symbotic relationship, aka its new robot deal (Source)
• The veracity of Target’s claims that it has cut its production lead times down from 7 months to 8 weeks (Source)
• Whether the American consumer really needs smaller Burlington stores (Source)
• Sephora’s plans to redesign its entire North American store fleet (Source)
• And closed with an examination of Walmart’s marketplace expansion via Rebag to sell the likes of Fendi, Chanel, and more (Source)

There’s all that, plus pit diapers, roundabout rules of the road and the HQ amenities we all just can’t live without.
