Retail Focus 6/7/20 – Gap Online Sales Fall Flat; How U.S. Consumer Spend is Trending

We start with Gap—although their quarter wasn’t as bad as it first seemed, their latest earnings call showed the company has a long way to go with the Gap and Banana Republic brands. From there, we talk about Southeastern Grocers’ deal with Food Lion, retail produce sales in Q1, and GameStop. Our interview guest is Cardlytics CMO Dani Cushion, who discusses Cardlytics’ first two State of Spend reports and provides insight into how U.S. consumer spend is trending as we begin June.
