Global Partners to install self-checkout kiosks in all stores
The retailer will have new self-checkout kiosk to all of Global’s 264 company owned locations across the Northeast.
Global Partners LP will bring Skip’s new self-checkout kiosk to all of Global’s 264 company owned locations across the Northeast. This agreement comes after a pilot program that tested the new kiosk at select Global-owned stores.
“With nearly 300 company owned convenience markets across six states, Global needed a way to meet guest preference for contactless, quick check out. The Skip self-checkout kiosk requires no store construction, ships fully assembled to each store site, and requires no employee training. We saw immediate shopper adoption the moment the kiosk turned on, proving the value of the Skip investment,” says Global Senior Vice President Mark Cosenza.
The low-maintenance kiosk uses “heartbeat” AI to cloud monitor and troubleshoot to detect and solve software issues in real-time.
“The retail industry is moving in a direction where dependence on staff members to solve on-site technical problems is no longer sustainable,” says Skip CEO Chase Thomason.
Skip’s kiosk is also modular, allowing for several different configurations based on a retailer’s available floor and counter space.
With approximately 1,550 locations primarily in the Northeast, Waltham-based Global Partners is one of the region's largest independent owners, suppliers and operators of gasoline stations and convenience stores.
