In this week’s Omni Talk Retail Fast Five, sponsored by the A&M Consumer and Retail Group, Mirakl, Ocampo Capital, Infios, and Quorso, Chris and Anne discussed:

• Doug McMillon retiring as Walmart CEO, with John Furner taking over in February (Source)
• Grocery Dealz integrating with Instacart’s Developer Platform for on-demand delivery (Source)
• Primark introducing Buy Now, Pay Later options with Klarna and Clearpay (Source)
• Google launching new AI shopping features including conversational search and agentic checkout (Source)
• Target and Starbucks debuting an exclusive Frozen Peppermint Hot Chocolate (Source)

And A&M’s Chad Lusk stopped by for Five Insightful Minutes to share takeaways from their latest consumer sentiment survey.

There’s all that, plus SantaGPT, Dick Van Dyke turning 100, the perfect hot cocoa recipe, and whether Sizzler’s comeback is rare, medium, or well done.
