How will the Saks Global bankruptcy affect restaurants?This week's episode of the Restaurant Business podcast A Deeper Dive features Stephen Cohen, a real estate attorney who does a lot of work with restaurants.We wanted to speak with Stephen about the real estate implications of the bankruptcy filing of the giant retailer Saks Global.No, Saks is not a restaurant, though it owns a few of them.

AI dominates the conversation—not as hype, but as a clear shift from experimentation to real-world implementation. Steve shares observations from the show floor, noting how retailers are racing to modernize product data, digital infrastructure, and site experiences to better capture the growing wave of AI-driven and agent-led shopping traffic.The conversation then turns to one of the most consequential stories in retail: the Saks Global bankruptcy. Steve provides deep context on the failed Saks–Neiman Marcus merger, the leadership shake-up, Amazon's unexpected equity exposure, and the cascading impact on vendors—particularly smaller brands that may never be made whole. Early earnings and sales signals round out the news segment, with standout performances from Costco, American Eagle, and Five Below reinforcing a widening gap between retail's winners and laggards. The hosts also discuss Walmart's renewed push into drone delivery and the accelerating ripple effects of GLP-1 drugs, especially as pill-based options expand access and potentially reshape apparel and discretionary spending.From there, Steve and Michael are joined by Jessica Schinazi, CEO of Away for an engaging interview recorded live in the Narvar remote podcast studio on the floor at the NRF Big Show  Jessica reflects on her journey from LVMH, Amazon, and Dyson to leading one of the original digitally native vertical brands as it approaches its tenth anniversary. She shares why Away's emotional connection with customers—paired with uncompromising product quality—has allowed the brand to endure while many early DTC peers have struggled.Jessica explains Away's evolution into what she describes as a “DTC-smart” model: maintaining direct customer relationships while strategically expanding through wholesale partners such as Nordstrom, Amazon, and Dick's Sporting Goods. Each channel plays a distinct role, from immersive storytelling in owned stores to trust-building through reviews and scale on marketplaces. The discussion also explores leadership in the AI era, with Jessica emphasizing resilience, curiosity, and the importance of using AI as a tool to elevate human work—not replace it.In the closing segments, the hosts revisits new details emerging from the Saks Global bankruptcy, and share what's on their radar screen, exploring labor market signals and leadership changes at Kendra Scott, the fast-growing jewelry brand.

There’s big trouble in the Beckham family, with eldest offspring Brooklyn Beckham going nuclear on his parents Victoria and David and stating he does not wish to reconcile. Tonight's special guest on the phone with Mark is famed Hollywood fixer Brad Herman. He talks about the publicly reviled California DMV, but Herman says the staff there really do care, from top to bottom. The SNAFU with the Real ID was not the fault of DMV staff, rather, it was a software glitch that saw about 325,000 California residents having to get new IDs. Brad Herman continues talking about his long career as a Hollywood fixer, including that time in the 1980s when, as a wet-behind-the-ears kid in his 20s, he was sent to an address in Beverly Hills to take care of none other than Frank Sinatra, who was caught driving on an expired driver’s license. Amazon is taking on Saks 5th Avenue after Saks filed bankruptcy. In 2024, Amazon invested $500M in Saks, and now Amazon is saying that investment was worthless.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week on Words With Wista, we're unpacking why the internet is suddenly romanticizing 2016 like it wasn't a collective mess, while Trump casually floats skipping elections and his agriculture secretary explains how Americans should survive on a $3 meal.

Plus, Florida floats a new OF tax, Saks files for bankruptcy, Pat McGrath Labs may be up for sale, a Chicago teacher's disappearance ends tragically, a disturbing alleged crime involving manipulation and control, NYPD OF drama circulates, Farrah Abraham wants to be mayor, Ludacris exits Kid Rock's festival, Nicky Jam admits to faking a Jamaican accent, Clarissa Shields calls in as a “fan,” and Mattel's autistic Barbie somehow sparks outrage.

On the Glossy Podcast, senior fashion reporter Danny Parisi and international reporter Zofia Zwieglinska break down some of the biggest fashion news of the week. This week, we're talking about the bankruptcy filing of Saks Global, something that many had predicted would happen over the last few weeks as the company's debt load continued to grow. Saks reportedly owes hundreds of millions of dollars to its various vendors, including bigger brands like Chanel and Kering. The bankruptcy also drew the ire of Amazon, which had invested hundreds of millions into Saks' acquisition of Neiman Marcus two years ago, the value of which Amazon now says is worthless. We discussed the ripple effects that Saks's bankruptcy will have on the company, on the brands that work with it and on luxury shopping, in general.

Barbara Kahn, Wharton Professor of Marketing, discusses Saks Global's bankruptcy, the strategic missteps behind it, and how luxury department stores can rebuild through experiential retail, omnichannel integration, and elite customer relationships.

En el episodio de hoy de VG Daily, Eugenio Garibay y Andre Doos Santos repasan un acuerdo comercial entre EE. UU. y Taiwán que reduce los aranceles y viene acompañado por el compromiso de inversión de empresas taiwanesas de chips y tecnología en Estados Unidos. Con ese marco como punto de partida, conectan el tema con TSMC y lo que significa expandir capacidad y cadena de suministro en suelo estadounidense en pleno auge de la IA.A partir de ahí, la conversación gira a la tensión en retail con la quiebra de Saks y el rol de un jugador grande como Amazon dentro del proceso, como ejemplo de cómo cambian las prioridades cuando el crédito se aprieta y el ciclo del consumo se complica. Cierran con un repaso de lo que se movió en los mercados durante la semana, hablando de riesgo, tasas y sentimiento.

Saks Global — the luxury retail conglomerate that owns brands like Saks Fifth Avenue, Neiman Marcus, and Bergdorf Goodman — filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy this week. But given that higher-income consumers are driving so much of spending, why is a chain of luxury department stores struggling? Then, the Trump administration is ending a special protected status for 350,000 Haitians, and the elder-care industry is expected to lose thousands of workers as a result.
