Cutting-edge C-store Chain to Expand Self-Checkout Strategy, Delivering Enhanced Customer Experience
A convenience store chain known for embracing the latest retail technology is reporting a successful roll-out of the Passport Express Lane self-checkout system. Vermont-based Maplefields was one of the first to implement a self-checkout kiosk in the U.S. The c-store chain has the newly released Gilbarco Veeder-Root product in three stores with future deployment likely at other Maplefields locations.
“We’re really demystifying the idea of self-checkout in the c-store environment, said Special Projects Coordinator, Brian Labrie. “It’s allowed us to redeploy our staff to serve other critical store functions and create a more frictionless customer experience. It’s a game-changing opportunity we can’t ignore.” IT Manager Skip Potter says adoption rates are growing each day. The more people try it, he says, the more they keep coming back. He also noted how easy it is to integrate with Passport Express Ordering.
Maplefields is known as a brand who likes to experiment with new retail tactics. It was also one of the first chains to launch Passport Express Ordering kiosks for in-store foodservice. The brand is also expanding outside the store by adding Veefil-RT 50kW electric vehicle chargers with our new “pay-at-the-charger” credit card reader.
“Maplefields proves over and over the value of being progressive in the C-store industry,” said Jason Nichols, Director, North America Retail Solutions. “We share that same mindset at Gilbarco Veeder-Root which makes our partnership so effective and successful.”
