Welcome to Omni Talk's Retail Daily Minute, sponsored by Duvo and Mirakl.
In today's Retail Daily Minute, Omni Talk's Chris Walton discusses:
- California's AG releases unredacted documents alleging Amazon strong-armed brands like Levi's and Hanes into pressuring Walmart, Target, and others to raise prices, adding fuel to a multi-front antitrust battle heading to trial in 2027.
- Party City makes a surprise retail comeback inside more than 700 Staples stores nationwide, pairing party supplies with Staples' print and marketing services in a smart asset-light play for the bankrupt brand's IP.
- An AI bot named Luna opens and operates Andon Market in San Francisco, i.e. hiring staff, choosing inventory, and running checkout, and offering an early, provocative glimpse at fully agentic retail in the wild.
