DALLAS -- Shop24 Global has announced that property management company Lynd Co. has signed for two Shop24 robotic convenience stores at one time to be placed on two apartment complexes in the Dallas metropolitan area--"Timberlinks of Denton" and "Fairways at Wilson Creek."
Timberlinks of Denton is located in Denton, Texas, minutes from the educational opportunities at the University of North Texas and Texas Woman's University campuses. Fairways at Wilson Creek is located in McKinney, Texas, minutes from old town McKinney.
The Shop24 ultra convenience store is a self-contained, refrigerated and robotic convenience store designed to enable 24/7/365 consumer purchasing, and only takes up 140 square feet of space. It can be placed inside or out.
Originally operated in Europe and the East Coast of the United States, Shop24 brings an innovative idea to ultra-convenience, dispensing a variety of items such as snacks, cleaning supplies, medicine and even full meals closer for the customer and in a fraction of the time it takes to go to and shop at a traditional c-store.
The more than nine-foot-tall machine offers up to 200 traditional c-store items ranging in weight from less than one ounce to eight pounds.
Shop24 accepts different methods of payment including cash, credit cards, debit cards, meal and flex program cards, as well as supplemental nutrition assistance program (SNAP) cards, 24 hours a day.
"What I look forward to the most is Shop24 being a time and gas saver for our residents. This property is great because it is relatively remote and quiet, but with that comes limited retail options at your fingertips," said Jackie Smith, Timberlinks manager. "This new amenity will help us retain our existing residents and keep a high demand for new ones."
David Wren, Fairways manager, said, "We are really looking forward to having a Shop24 store here at Fairways at Wilson Creek. It will be such an amazing amenity for all my residents. What I appreciate is the fact that Shop24 is willing to poll the residents to see what types of items they would like in the store. Shop 24 is going to give me a huge leg up on the competition."
