Meijer Announces Rollout of Gilbarco's Contactless Card Reader at 150 Stores

New technology delivers increased convenience and security for Meijer customers.

Greensboro, NC USA - September 26, 2005 - Meijer Stores will become the first supercenter chain to add contactless card payment option at their gas pumps. The chain's 150 stores that sell gasoline will have over 1,850 fueling positions upgraded with Gilbarco's ISO 14443 contactless card system.

"Gilbarco's contactless payment system at the pump provides our customers with a faster and more convenient fueling experience with more payment options," said Michael Ross, director of marketing strategy and customer financial services. "The technology is one of the new tools we have to improve customer loyalty and speed transaction time. Gilbarco's contactless system provides Meijer with the most cost effective, safe, and integrated point-of-sale solution in the marketplace."

The system chosen by Meijer protects their customers by preserving the regulatory listings and warranty on the host dispensers. The integrated system is currently the only product that is certified by all three major card companies for use in a gas pump, according to Gilbarco global product manager Whit Edwards.

The rollout is expected to be complete by the end of November 2005.

Upon completion of the Meijer rollout, Gilbarco will have more than 6,500 contactless readers installed in fuel dispensers in North America.

Gilbarco Veeder-Root's Contactless Card Readers will be exhibited at the National Association of Convenience Stores (NACS) show booth # 1933, November 15-18, 2005 at the Las Vegas Convention Center.
