Chestnut Market has deployed Mashgin's AI-powered checkout system at its 203 Greenwood Ave, Bethel, Connecticut location. “This marks the first Shell-branded store to roll out Mashgin's technology, which seamlessly integrates with Shell's payment network through the Invenco EDGEPro device,” according to a press release sent to NACS.

Chestnut Market said the technological advancement represents a significant step forward in modernizing the convenience store experience.

“After witnessing the tremendous success of Mashgin's technology at our Hutchinson Parkway location, where we completely eliminated checkout lines, we're excited to bring this same level of convenience to this location's customers,” said Faheem Jamal, director of retail at Chestnut Market. Chestnut Market recently won a Store Design Award for its Hutchinson Parkway location that features six Mashgin kiosks.

“Retail is detail, and keeping lines short is a big one. This continued expansion demonstrates our commitment to enhancing the customer experience through innovative, practical technology,” Jamal added.

The self-checkouts also integrate with Shell’s payment network. A key capability of the Invenco EDGEPro device is enabling options for third party POS systems to be integrated at retail stations, the retailer said.

“This implementation represents a significant milestone in the convenience store industry, combining Shell's trusted fuel operations with cutting-edge AI technology to create a faster and customer-friendly shopping experience. Chestnut Market plans to deploy Mashgin's AI-powered checkout system into additional stores this year,” it said.

“The team at Chestnut is truly exceptional when it comes to building stores that people want to visit,” said Jack Hogan, SVP of partnerships at Mashgin. “This collaboration with Shell helps us to deliver that next level of customer experience at Chestnut Market, and we look forward to the same for more branded wholesalers going forward.”

In February, NACS Daily reported that after a “highly successful initial deployment,” Wesco convenience stores would double its number of Mashgin's AI-powered checkouts, bringing the total to over 20 locations.
