A store without employees

Submitted by Will on Friday, 15 September 2006No Comment

Convenience store no employeesThis store has no employees. Get & Go has created a convenient space where there are vending machines of all types of sodas, foods, and snacks, as well as an ATM.

With new Kiosk technologies other items could be added, like DVD rentals and lottery tickets.

The profit margins are great:

“When you talk about margins, right now across the board, we’re running at 60-62 percent profit margins,” Parsons said, comparing them to the 30-40 percent margins of a regular c-store.

There are definite opportunities in the future, to automate in the convenience store space.
