Episode description as stored
In this week’s Omni Talk Retail Fast Five, sponsored by the A&M Consumer and Retail Group , Mirakl , Ocampo Capital , Quorso , Veloq , and SmartScout , Chris Walton welcomes Richard McKenzie into the guest hosting chair. The former Ocado executive and Veloq CEO brings his retail expertise, UK perspective, and plenty of back-and-forth with Chris, "bringing this week’s show to an 11."
Chris and Richard dig into five of the biggest stories in retail this week, including:
• McDonald’s piloting third-party ads on digital drive-thru menu boards at 450 company-owned U.S. restaurants as part of a new McDonald’s Media Network that it hopes could eventually become a $1 billion advertising business. ( Source )
• Marks & Spencer and Sephora teaming up to launch Sephora at M&S, a new beauty shop-in-shop concept coming to 100 M&S stores and M&S.com beginning in spring 2027. ( Source )
• DoorDash expanding its retail Marketplace with Macy’s, Anthropologie, The North Face, Vans, and Timberland, while also launching Dasher Returns, a $7.99 service that lets shoppers have a Dasher pick up returns right from their door. ( Source )
• Walmart rolling out Shop to Light, Pick to Light, and Stock to Light digital shelf label features companywide by the holiday season, using light-up labels to help both customers and associates find products faster. ( Source )
• IKEA closing three of its small-format plan and order stores in Washington, D.C., Maryland, and Virginia, including a Georgetown location that opened less than a year ago, as the retailer reevaluates its U.S. footprint. ( Source )
The episode wraps with a lightning round covering the UK legacy of Chariots of Fire, IKEA furniture assembly fails, and plenty more Fast Five fun.
