- Target Circle 360 members receiving free same-day delivery from 100+ other retailers via Shipt (Source)
- Dick’s Sporting Goods acquiring Foot Locker (Source)
- The cybercrime wave that has hit European retailers and whether U.S. retailers are prepared for something similar (Source)
- And closed with a look at Target’s new small town store expansion strategy (yes, two Target headlines this week folks!) (Source)
There’s all that, plus RADAR CEO Spencer Hewett stops by for 5 Insightful Minutes to put Chris in his place on his recent comments about his company’s Old Navy store rollout, along with a Favre-filled, Sesame Street lightning round.
