Summary
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: Saks Global exits Chapter 11 as "Exemplar Luxury Group," emerging with a dramatically smaller store footprint, sharply reduced debt, and a new strategic bet on full-price luxury. Amazon Prime Day 2026 logged $26.4 billion in U.S. online spend across four days — a new record — but Numerator data reveals declining average order sizes and household spend, even as AI-driven traffic and influencer commerce posted striking gains. Rhode Island becomes the first U.S. state to mandate a 1-to-3 worker-to-machine staffing ratio for self-checkout lanes in grocery stores, setting a regulatory precedent that a half-dozen other states are already moving to follow.
