Welcome to Omni Talk's Retail Daily Minute, sponsored by Duvo and Mirakl.

In today's Retail Daily Minute, Omni Talk's Chris Walton discusses:

  • Dollar General reports Q1 net sales up 3.4% to $10.8 billion as CEO Todd Vasos says trade-down activity is accelerating, with rural customers cutting back on household expenses amid rising gas prices.
  • Walmart has capped employee usage of its in-house AI tool Code Puppy after high demand depleted its token budget, highlighting the real and often underestimated cost of enterprise AI adoption at scale.
  • Victoria's Secret delivers a stunning Q1 earnings beat and raises full-year guidance significantly, with CEO Hillary Super crediting fewer promotions, bra-led loyalty, and a newly compounding leadership team.
