VenHub launches 24/7 AI-powered smart store at LAX Metro Transit Center
The autonomous retail hub aims to redefine convenience for travelers and commuters ahead of major global events.
VenHub Global, a company specializing in fully autonomous, AI-powered retail solutions, has opened its flagship smart store at the Metro Transit Center serving Los Angeles International Airport (LAX).
The new installation offers round-the-clock, staff-free shopping to the millions of travelers and commuters passing through one of Southern California’s busiest transit hubs. Combining robotics, machine vision, and IoT technology, the site aims to deliver secure, frictionless transactions in as little as 90 seconds.
The launch comes as Los Angeles ramps up infrastructure and services in preparation for the 2026 FIFA World Cup and the 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games.
“Opening at LAX’s Metro Transit Center is more than a milestone; it’s a statement that cities and travel centers can serve people better through smart, autonomous retail,” said Shahan Ohanessian, Founder and CEO of VenHub.
VenHub’s flagship store is the first of several planned through a partnership with LA Metro. Additional locations will roll out at key transit locations across Southern California.
