We lead our podcast with the news that captured headlines this week: that Kohl’s is partnering with Aldi to fill vacant real estate in reorganized stores. We’ll also discuss new initiatives from Lowe’s (and their earnings), a new material debut from Crocs, and Best Buy’s planned closure of their mobile stores (and lease issues that might make it a less-than-smooth process). Our interview dives into innovations surrounding in-store kiosks in retail. We’re brought to you by the Internet Retailer Conference and Exhibition; visit irce.com and use the promo code RETAIL18 to get 10% off IRCE 2018 conference passes.
