Check out Free Technology – Grabango and MAPCO – interesting how customers in East wearing hats and coats required AI adjustment.

Another POI is that these are going into C-Stores (with modern delis and fresh food/veggies). This could siphon off restaurant. Along with gas, cigarettes and soda all they are missing is EV charging and is there anyone who thinks that isn’t coming…

In Brief

  • 340 Convenience Stores
  • Grabango has five markets and is trying to be the undisputed leader

Excerpt

Five years after launching its first proof-of-concept, the checkout-free technology startup Grabango is rolling out into its fifth metro region, the company said Tuesday.

Its latest partnership is with MAPCO, the convenience store chain with nearly 340 stores throughout the Southeastern region. For now, MAPCO plans to implement checkout-free services in two Tennessee stores by this fall. The rollout will mark the first time Nashville shoppers get access to checkout-free tech — a shopping innovation largely associated with Amazon’s cashierless stores.
