In this week’s Fast Five video, sponsored by Microsoft, the A&M Consumer and Retail Group, Takeoff, and Sezzle, Chris takes a break from 2022 Walton Family Spring Break to join Anne to discuss:

- Kohl’s multiple acquisition offers, their potential buyers, and why two wrongs don’t make a right.
- Pickup-only grocer Fresh Street doing grocery orders in 30 minutes with no fee and if it’s a model that will stick?
- Amazon’s baller move opening their first net-zero carbon emission Fresh store in Seattle. 
- NVIDIA and Kroger promising to reinvent the grocery experience with AI and digital twins.
- And close with Anne’s first-hand review of Lululemon’s new Blissfeel running shoe.

There’s all that, plus a cameo from Chris’s childhood Darth Vader toy, and a discussion on why Anne’s greatest Applebees memories can still be realized at their new drive-thrus.
