We'd love to have your feedback and ideas for future episodes of Retail Unwrapped. Just text us!Crisis management has become a requisite strategy in today's fractious marketplace. The socio-political landscape has become a minefield for retailers where one misstep can trigger unprecedented consumer backlash and boycotts. In today's hyperconnected environment, every consumer with a smartphone becomes a potential crisis catalyst, documenting empty shelves and operational failures that go viral instantly. Join Shelley and crisis management expert Edward Segal to learn why successful retailers must shift from reactive damage control to proactive crisis prevention. Their conversation reveals how major retailers are failing in everything from Cracker Barrel's tone-deaf new logo rollout to a succession of mismanaging DEI initiatives. The result is that customer credibility and trust are eroded, turning loyal customers into vocal critics. Listen and learn why traditional crisis management approaches are obsolete and why there is an emerging need for chief geopolitical officers to navigate an increasingly polarized marketplace and build crisis prevention systems before problems spiral out of control. Special Guest: Edward Segal, Best-Selling Author and Crisis Management ExpertFor more strategic insights and compelling content, visit TheRobinReport.com, where you can read, watch, and listen to content from Robin Lewis and other retail industry experts, and be sure to follow us on LinkedIn and Twitter.

A former supermarket leader agrees New Zealand's lacking competition. The Government's aiming to put supermarkets that would improve competition up for being fast-tracked in new reforms. It comes as the Minister of Finance confirms there's been talks with Costco to potentially expand across the country in the coming years. Former Costco NZ managing director Patrick Noone says their West Auckland store's provided some savings. "In that same precinct, we had Pak'nSave, we had Woolworths across the street and we were able to operate and be extremely competitive with the local market."

Shoot us a Text.Episode #1130: As we gear up for our NAMAD coverage in LasVegas, Paul and guest co-host Ben Hadley are digging into the IRS's EV tax credit extension, how Gen Z balances screens with store shelves, and why Hyundai's futuristic plant still counts on the human touch to get the job done right.The IRS is giving EV buyers a little breathing room to secure the full $7,500 federal tax credit, shifting expectations just before a hard deadline set for the end of September.Previously, buyers had to take delivery of a new EV by September 30 to qualify for the $7,500 tax credit.The IRS now says a binding written contract and deposit by that date will secure the credit, even if delivery comes later.This update helps ease the Q3 rush from buyers and dealers scrambling to meet the original deadline.Automakers may now try to lock in future EV reservations as binding sales, but that could be risky for buyers.IRS: “Taxpayer will be entitled to claim the credit… even if the vehicle is placed in service after September 30, 2025.”Hyundai's new $5.5 billion Georgia plant is a showcase of robotic innovation—but even with 750 robots on the floor, it's the human touch that ensures each EV rolls out with quality and care.The Ellabell plant features a 2-to-1 human-to-robot ratio—far lower than the 7-to-1 U.S. industry average.Robots handle welding and material movement, while humans manage quality control and complex assembly.CEO José Muñoz says the goal is not to replace humans, but to “maximize human potential.”Hyundai has pledged to hire 8,500 workers by 2031 as part of a $2 billion state incentive deal.“It makes them feel a little safer than just relying on some machine,” said track team leader Chico Murphy.Gen Z may live online, but when it comes to shopping, the path to purchase often ends in-store. A new YouGov study shows this digital-native generation still values the physical retail experience.69% of Gen Z starts their buying journey online, but over half still browse in stores.Discovery is mixed: 50% hear about new products through personal connections, 46% find them while shopping in-store.29% of Gen Z spot items online but buy them in-store, while 21% do the reverse.Social media remains crucial—64% of Gen Z use it to discover products versus 44% of older adults.“Retailers can't afford to pick a side: Omnichannel is where the action is.”Join Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier every morning for the Automotive State of the Union podcast as they connect the dots across car dealerships, retail trends, emerging tech like AI, and cultural shifts—bringing clarity, speed, and people-first insight to automotive leaders navigating a rapidly changing industry.Get the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/

He shares his perspective on the future of omni channel retail, the role of shopping malls, and the crucial metrics for evaluating retail companies, emphasizing cash flow and margin per square foot. Beyond his legendary role at Shoppers Stop after 34 years, Mr. Nagesh passionately discusses his current venture, TRAIN (Trust for Retailers and Retail Associates of India), and his mission to give back by empowering retail associates and persons with disabilities.

Retailers delivered a mixed bag of earnings today, with TJX Companies (TJX) hitting a record high while Target (TGT) tumbled to 2-month lows and announced a change at the top. Brian Gildenberg breaks down the results. Gildenberg says TJX's off-price model has helped it navigate tariff-related headwinds, and expects the retailer to continue capitalizing on industry uncertainty. Meanwhile, Target's new CEO faces an uphill battle in restoring investor confidence, and Gildenberg says the company needs to clearly articulate its path forward.
