GPM Investments has announced a partnership with Bitcoin Depot, a U.S.-based Bitcoin ATM operator and fintech company, which will bring bitcoin ATMs to 188 initial locations. Following the rollout, Bitcoin Depot plans to expand to additional locations in GPM’s broader network.

Royal Farms announced an exclusive partnership with Bitstop. Bitstop ATMs are now live at all 310 of the company’s retail locations, with additional installations planned at all future store openings.

In addition to Bitcoin (BTC), Bitstop now supports Ethereum (ETH), Dogecoin (DOGE), Ripple (XRP), USD Coin (USDC) and more, offering what it says is the widest range of digital currencies of any major Bitcoin ATM operator.

“At Royal Farms, we’re always looking to enhance the convenience and value we offer our customers,” said Frank Schilling, director of procurement, Royal Farms. “Partnering with Bitstop allows us to meet growing demand for digital currency services in a safe, secure, user-friendly way. Whether it’s everyday essentials, world-famous chicken or digital currency, we’re committed to innovation that builds trust with every transaction while living our mission: delight customers in a way that creates loyalty.”

Additionally, Wild Bill’s Tobacco partnered with Bitcoin Depot to launch a pilot program in 10 Wild Bill’s stores, with the opportunity to expand across the company’s portfolio.

“Wild Bill’s has always focused on providing customers with new, value-added services,” said Justin Samona, VP of business development for Wild Bill’s. “Partnering with Bitcoin Depot now brings a trusted crypto solution into our stores, and this pilot will allow our teams to fine-tune an intentional rollout and deliver the best customer experience, setting the stage for a broader expansion in the months ahead.”
