Innovating In Retail With Omnichannel Commerce And Vaccines      

Walgreens

Virginia-based CarLotz is seeking to disrupt the used-car business and go public this week. The firm provides an omnichannel platform that sells vehicles online and also via a network of “hubs” where shoppers can visit in person. In healthcare retail, COVID-19 vaccines could provide a boost for CVSWalgreens and other pharmacies. And in the digital shift, retail’s survival is now about making physical a part of the digital shopping experience. All this, Today in Data.
